Around 7:30 PM-ish the lights blinked and Xfinity box had to re-boot.......twice.

Anybody else experience same?

At least it happened after Jeopardy.

[NotGolfer]

Yes, it happened to us. We don't have Xfinity. We have DirecTV and nothing had to reboot. Just a brief blink----the air-conditioner didn't even stop. WHEW!!! Somewhere saw where we might expect "brown-outs" due to this weather. Hoping (no praying) not!! Can't imagine it!!

The Villages "management" could open the rec centers to those without power!?

Yes, same experience, same area.

We had half hour, of no xfinity WiFi, not a big deal. Didn’t lose power for more than a minute. Didn’t have to reboot.

There were 2 SECO outages in the area just north of 466 and the area of morse, around 7:52 and 7:53 if I recall correctly.

That seems right. Happened here in Lynnhaven, too.

So in general when something makes contact with power lines the system will attempt to clear the lines which is the blimps you see. A third time means the lines could not be cleared and the power is shutdown until the item is physically removed.

In general you are correct, depending on the utility practice. These are called reclosures, and the utility I worked for used Instantaneous, 10 seconds and 30 to 60 seconds. If the breaker tripped again after the 3rd try it stayed open. SECO appears to use a first and second try then stay open, until manually or remotely closed.

Yes, we also experienced those power interruptions......lasted half a second a couple of times. I'm in Mallory Square.

Yep for Amelia too. Maybe 1 second twice. Nothing, including Xfinity or our garage freezer had to be rebooted. The freezer is weird, compressor won't come back after a 5+ second outage. Have to power off then on (not this time as it was so quick). Manufacturer says this is how it is supposed to work to save the compressor. We have a Wi-Fi power outage alarm and a remote Wi-Fi controlled outlet on the freezer so we get notified and can reset if we are away. We have battery backup for modem/router so we will get notified if power goes out. Not 100% failure proof but probably 80%. So far, 100%

Wonder how many Tesla (or other electric car) owners were charging their cars at that time. Grid will only handle so much

My power went off for a second or two and then came back on long enough for the router to reboot. Then it went off for about an hour or so. A neighbor was stuck in her electric powered recliner when she lost her power and couldn't get out of it until the power came back on. Imagine her panic.
