Power has been out since 6:30 am and an hour later, still no power. Being situated across the street from Walmart, it’s odd for the power to be out so long. 20 degree temps are not helping.
My power went out every 5 minutes and stayed out for 5 minutes all night, until 6am then it went out completely and is still off.
Woke up at 5:15 and it thought, “who turned the heat down”. Went to then on light—-no power. Literally a minute later the power came back, lights, heat, etc came on. I went downstairs to check a light timer. Actual time was 5:20. Rotary dial timer, which had been set to the correct time, was showing shortly before 2am. A little over 3 hours....?
East Greenwood keeps having consistent power flickers every 40 minutes or so that last about 10 to 20 seconds
My power has gone out for the 6th time tonight.
