Power Outages

Should I be concerned that the power has gone out 4-6 times today, for just a few seconds, and that following 2 of them, there was a loud explosion one second later?

Freakin' po-dunk one-horse Hooterville has to be all uppity and pretend like they have electricity. Maybe they should hire some of the big-city guys to rig it up it for them. . .or at least stop using dynamite to insulate the transformers. It gets kinda hot 'round these parts.

Loud explosion might have been a transformer biting it. As for 4-6 outages, hell on a computer, eiter unplug it or make sure its on a real good ups.

Aahhh, it's electronic Darwinism. It'll only blow up the WEAK components. Obviously, when my old system blew up this spring, ALL the components were weak. . . 😄

I'll be scoping the local deals this week. Obviously, I can't just unplug it when it storms anymore, as there hadn't been rain for hours when the last few outages occurred.

Don't believe that. I know it was a joke but you can lose very well built parts as easily as weak parts when it comes to electric surges
