@"common tater"... i thought the same thing! My power (in Apex) went out at 6:33am (I was alerted by the transfer of power to a smoke alarm with a weak battery!)...and was back on in less than 5 minutes! Just long enough to have to reset all the clocks. I'm sure there were some folks late to work today.

All those heat pump auxiliaries kicking in for the cold weather, causing an extra heavy load.

"Will I get a credit on my bill? "

Road-wearier: Well...if you weren't using any power, you've already gotten the credit...

Cool. That's our deep thought for the day.

I live in Morrisville (Durham County / Duke). The power flickered a number of times but fortunately stayed on.

Wasn't the company's fault, the transformer blew. I heard it happen, and then saw it. It woke me from a dead sleep.

Power was also out over two hours yesterday. Was it the same problem today? Will I get a credit on my bill? HA!
