I saw so many blue/greenish lights last night. I figured it was something minor and was really not surprised when power was back on. In my neighborhood, one can blink and power goes off.

I heard that over and over again, transformer blowing...that's the news for you...making up news...I sent the local station an email letting them know how fast my power was back on...and ask them why aren't they reporting that...

The electric utility also has automatic "re-closers" on the circuit breakers. If you lose power for about a second, thats a 50 cycle re-closer trip and automatic reset. Its designed for lighting strike.

They also have an automatic one minute re-closer if the 50 cycle fails.

We lost ours at 7 p.m., and regained it 5 minutes ago. Very impressive.
