Flickering Lights

So, at about 10 am yesterday, the lights flickered a bit. They've been flickering slightly all week, so I called the utility to report the problem in case it has something to do with our line. The gal on the other end said it would be awhile before a crew could be sent, as a storm was knocking out power all over the county (mostly in the South), and was still going strong. I had no problem with that, as the flickering has been mostly an annoyance, not a serious problem.

At about 1:30 pm, the storm hit up here. The wind was fairly impressive, and large chunks of trees were coming down all over our yard. At about 2:30 pm, the lights went out and stayed out. They stayed out for thirteen hours, finally coming on at about 3:30 this morning.
