edschweppeToday is the hottest day of the year so far. So of course the power is starting to flicker. It's been dropping on and off since around 3:30 this afternoon. At the moment, it's on. However, Eversource (the local utility company) just sent me a message that they are "We are aware of an outage in the area of [my address] affecting approximately 2233 customer(s). Based on our experience with these types of events, we expect to restore power by 07/20 06:45 PM."
I'm guessing this isn't a simple instance of someone knocking down a pole, but rather one or more pieces of infrastructure failing under load. Hopefully it's a reasonably quick fix, once they figure it out. On the other hand, looking at their outage map, there's a whole bunch of outages in the area, so maybe not.
Meanwhile, ARRRGH!
