Whatever the cause was, from the posts it seems that not everyone was affected. Probably a transformer near one of the construction sites blew for some reason. It only lasted an hour or thereabouts.
I should have thought to call CW. I have their number on the fridge. It's hard to find human beings to talk to in the middle of the night. Just robots answering the phones. The sheriff's station was very helpful though.
Cars were backed up because the gates wouldn't go up. Maybe they should be set to go up in the event of a power outage so that vehicles can get thru.
Well, at least it gave us a chance to check our emergency equipment including the two battery powered Coleman hurricane lamps and radio. Must remember to install a hard wired phone somewhere in the house because the cordless units were all dead. At least there was the cell phone.
Everyone have a nice day.
