Glad it's quieted down and back to normal, Jem. Mother Nature can put us in our insignificant place sometimes, can't she? We have our smart computers and wonderful internet, and it just takes a good storm and one loose wire , no electricity and we're back in the 15th century!I keep plenty of candles on hand just in case ........

I think its very frightening how much we depend on electricity, talk about putting all our eggs in the one basket. After the big bang, the first fella who creeps out from under the rock with a candle will be made king

It is always a good idea to check the fuses first. Dont be affraid.The button reset circuit breakers are easy, changing fuse wire a bit harder.
It is probably best to turn of the power at the fuse box before taking out fuses to examine or replace them.
Never put a larger amp wire than was originally in the fuse holder.
Finally, when a fuse goes it is usually the last thing that you used/plugged in, so if it goes agin disconnect that and keep working back. Sometimes just a light bulb blowing will cause modern dau fuses to "trip"
