We're on a heavily wooded island with above ground power lines.
At this time of year we get frequent storms with high winds.  The wierd
thing is that it wasn't stormy when the power went out last night.

We had a very short outage a few days ago that lasted less than a minute,
and the generator had turned on, the off quickly.  It looks like it didn't
turn on then, and I didn't realize it was a problem until the power went
down last night.  I went downstairs long enough to shut down all my
computers, and didn't try manually starting the generator until I got up
this morning.  I had to reset something to get it to start, but it didn't
trigger the switch in the transfer box so I had to do that manually.

We had a service call from Puget Sound Energy (PSE) early this afternoon
when they couldn't do anything other than tell me that it was probably
caused by the people installing the generator not clearing exceptions that
were the result of installation testing.
There wasn't anything they could do until we have mains working which PSE
predicts will by 6pm tomorrow.

Bill,

So your power lines are pretty unreliable there.   How about your internet
connections?
