Second time in a couple of weeks the power has gone out long enough to have to set all clocks and electrical appliances! What is going on??? Power surge or practicing for bad weather??? No AC or heating was running! Only appliances I have plugged in are the ones with clocks! I reported partial power only because there were no other options but I have power! I just want to know what the heck is going on!! It would be nice to communicate with a real person since I pay for your services!!!!
