After storm, some wall outlets in rooms in front of house stopped working. Ceiling lights work. Lamps plugged into wall, flicker on/off, radio won't work. Have older house with screw-in fuses. Have checked all fuses, including large ones in main. What's the prbolem?

Sounds more like a loose wire but could have had a wire burned off. Any GFCI's. Need to check AC at the outlets before and after the ones not working. Have a Volt Ohm Meter?

Pull outlets. If outlets wired using quick connect holes in back, move wires to screws.

Thank you for your response. Someone else suggested it may be a problem with the power company line and to ask them to come out and check lines. There was a problem. They fixed it. Everything's working now.
