Half my house has no electricity. The rest is ok. My tv is off as is my kitchen but my internet is on.

It's called a "brown out". Half your house circuits may have power and the other half will be out. Sometimes the half that has power is not "full" power. Brown outs are bad for 240v motors as only half the power is getting to the motor.

It’s happening again now. Wish the part with my tv had power.

Another transformer blew just east of me. One that blew this morning at 7:30 am was fixed by 11:40 am. Be happy with your brownout because I am totally out... again and we know that CFE employees don't work in the dark... or in the rain...or in the wind...or on weekends. Settle in with a good book and lots of bed covers. Hopefully it will get fixed in the morning.

It’s back on (for now.) I guess our good CFE luck couldn’t last. 😥

Yeah, big surprise. I am not putting any of my coping mechanisms away for a while. Time to re charge everything.

I’m crossing everything possible. Sure got spoiled with months of no outages.
