Default Midnight power outages
We are in Gilchrist and the past few nights our power has gone off for 10 sec or so at midnight or later. It just happened again, now at 0140.

The entire block is dark, street lights are out when the outage occurs. Last night watching a late football game from the west coast, it knocked out our DTV and it took 5-10 minutes for it to find the server and restart.

We have a surge protector on the video equip, and a whole house surge protector from SECO, but it can't be good for the built in appliances.

Woah, another brown out just now. Guess I'll call SECO and see what is going on.

Anyone else have issues with this, or are we the only night owls??
