I am here tracking this storm right now. They have the T warnings just north of me. Hopefully it will be past us by 6:30 EDT.

They're the things I most fear.  Stay safe, Willie.

Thanks Liz and Jon. It should move through within the next half hour and then we will get much cooler temps for the rest of night. 8)

The severe storms mostly passed through but in the process it knocked out one of my outlet boxes (2 outlets) in the fishroom. That totally sucks. ???

I ran a 100 foot heavy duty extension cord from the outlet box of the ejection unit as a temporary measure until I can figure what's wrong. ::)

None of the circuit breakers tripped and the GFI's didn't trip either.There wasn't much electricity pulling from that outlet, just a couple of power filters and LED lights but the location of it was prime. >:(

I found out that this particular outlet is on the same circuit with the outside lights and the garage door opener. The GFI is in the garage and that's what tripped. i don't know if it was due to the storm but 99.9 percent of the time the only things running on that circuit is the fishroom stuff. I'll have to pay closer attention to it.

good catch.....we have a couple screwed up pairings too......I guess the thought was that potentially less used outlets could be combined....

I have one outlet that is on a dedicated circuit. It is a 20 amp one. I don't know why they did not do the first one like that. They knew what I wanted them for. Well at least I found out what the first one was connected to.
