    Power outlets stopped working
    We are having some very heavy wind today. Gust up to about 40mph. It may be totally unrelated, however during one of the long very powerful gusts I noticed our fish tank shut off. That outlet doesn't work now, so I tried the ones nearby and nothing. All of the outlets in our dining room and kitchen are gone, except the one the fridge and oven are on. The far side of the living room is fine though and no problems from the lights. We now all of the sudden have 10 outlets that are not working that quick. Anyone have any suggestions? I've checked the breaker box. It all looked fine, but I flipped everything off and then back on to make sure. No luck. I'm going to call someone probably tomorrow, but just in case it might be something simple I thought I would ask. Thank you so much!

    Thanks. Actually this may be what happened. They all seem to be working again now this evening and I've seen a few of their trucks in the area while I was out a little while ago. I was just worried about it when it happened. Thanks again.
