Car Wreck Causes Power Outage

Have I said this before that power outages suck? Today around 1:40 Our power went out. I checked the circuit breakers and they were fine so I called the power company to report the outage. You may wonder why I am linking to this article when it says that power was restored in 30 minutes. It was around this same time that our power went out here in Illinois. It tried to come back on and we had low voltage power in some places in the house and no power in other places. Weird isn't it. I know the car wreck was not the cause of our power outage. I still do not know what caused it. Art seems to think it was the wind and or somehow related to this from last Tuesday. When it did return it was not all at once either. First the cable box turned on and off and the ceiling fan resumed normal speed in the living room and then the lights came on. I went to the other part of the house to tell Art that the power was trying to come back on and we still had low voltage in the bedrooms. So as I was headed to the basement to check the breakers once more when the power finally came back on all the way and has been on ever since. I have never seen it return the way it did. I told Art that the power outage smelled of weird from the time it happened at around 1:40 pm. I looked at my watch when the power came back on and it was around 2 hrs and 15 minutes from the time I called the power company.
