this morning, my house had a stroke. what i mean is that over half of the house lost power at just before 8 am today. i know what time because i heard something short out and watched the ceiling fan in my bedroom start to slow down and that was around 7:45 or so. thinking it was just a simple short, i checked a few other things and not much seemed to turn on. opening my main circuit box, i did not see any circuits trip, they were all still in the "on" position. after searching my house some more, i find that a lot of things don't have power. thankfully my fridge was still running. my computer even turned on so i could do some quick research which didn't turn up too much useful information. i think more of my house is without power then is. i don't think i'm going to like this... may need to call an electician if nothing obvious turns up. given the age of the house (and the likely age of the wiring) it might get hairy. :(
