We are having some bad weather, it was sleeting outside and I heard the loudest lightening I have ever heard. Im pretty sure it hit somewhere in my yard. It blew several power outlets in my house- one of which is my work room
We've tried everythign, swithing breakers on and off and nothing powers it back up and its only a few outlets that were blown- the one that has my main power outlet strip with 6 things plugged in to it (maybe that was too many). The power outlet outside that has all our christmas lights has also been blow and wont power back up. I thought maybe this bolt of electricity actually fried everything from the power cord that was in the blown socket but I plugged that power cord into another plug and it works fine. So my question is, what do I do about the outlets that arent working? Call an electrician?
We had our christmas light on during this storm and Im kinda thinking maybe lightening hit one of the stupid light up metal trees we had and thats what blew the sockets. Its dark outside so I really cant tell anythign yet.
