Re: I am worried
At my place, there was just the occasional voltage drop.
However, it was enough to repeatedly reset my new computer (blink...bootup...blink...bootup). Somehow, the other four machines in the room weren't affected, and kept on running.
A few hours later, It seems quiet outside, and I boot it up. It just gets to the desktop, then BLINK. 
At least things are running OK now, and there dosen't seem to be any damage

Re: I am worried
My apartment is on the third floor of the building. The UPS driver was a new guy, and didn't notice the entry door on the second floor porch, so he came up the fire escape and knocked on that door.
Since nobody ever uses the fire escape, when I heard the knock I went to the front door. Nobody there, so I went out the front door, saw the UPS truck, and went around the side of the building, meeting the UPS driver as he came back down the fire escape.
[Edit] BTW, SE IV comes in a brown padded envelope, not a white box.
The power went out here three times Last night, but the computer is on an Uninterruptable Power Supply, so I could shut it down normally.

Re: I am worried
power outages.... I actually miss them to a degree.
Rarely when I lived in Reno NV did we have them. The closest outage was a 15 second rolling brown out. Funny as hell. Looked like the wave.
But now in Orlando... 3 modems, a monitor, several ram chips and a CD-rom later...

Re: I am worried
Holland has been windy past month as well.
Maybe a sign of impending doom?

Re: I am worried
Just a sign of impending El Nino.

Re: I am worried
Now after reading all of these Messages about how terrible the weather is, I am reminded why I moved back to Arizona from Chicago. 
Of course I still haven't had SEIV Gold delivered yet,but I do get to grill steaks outside today in lovely 70 degree weather, so there is some balance in the universe...
