Where is there a heavy storm? Everything was calm when the power went out.
There was heavy rain hours ago but no lightning or major wind.

Robert---it was quick, very quick, but it happened. The power may have gone out afterward and impacted the Marlboro substations in a weird way.

That is exactly what happened Robert. Totally calm and then the power went out. Annoying. Since i moved here a year ago the power has gone out 4 times, thats including the week it was out during Irene. At my old hpuse, years would go by and nothing ...
