Interesting, Sky, we had something strange happen also. Mike was in the living room watching TV, I was in our bedroom working on my iPad, TV on. Suddenly, both tvs went out, as did the clock, cable box and DVD player in the bedroom and the TV, DVD player and cable box in the living room. Still had electricity, Internet and phone, but no tvs in these two rooms. TV sets in the front room and guest room were working. After checking the breakers and a little sleuthing, Mike determined that the surge protectors the electronics were plugged into had tripped. After resetting both surge protectors, we checked the TV on the lanai, also plugged into a surge protector....it had tripped also. I can't really say if the lights flickered because the TV suddenly shutting off makes a sort of "flash."
