Thunder on the mountain!

[pam jones]

Just heard thunder (twice) on the mountain. Little voice in my head can't help but wonder about lightening in the hills. Too much rock-and-roll, I guess. A couple of weeks ago the lightening knocked out power in two plugs; even after changing them out with new ones they still don't work. Things that make you go ummm and darn, now we have to call an e$ectrician. Hopefully one who isn't a thief!

Raining hard now on Kaloli Pt.

Yay for rain! Just in time to wash the roof off and help keep the dust down.
Pam, check the adjacent outlets on either side of your replaced ones if they are in the same room. If can't fix, shut circuit to those outlets off and ID all outlets on that circuit and check each one with visual. It will be obvious, from the little tab on the side melted away, or "shiny" as if painted with shellac, or look like steel screws where once were bright copper. Electricians will usually "daisy chain" outlets, so the fault would be on either side of the ones that do not work, or the wiring between. Usually the "fusible link" on the side will pop.
Also, check the wiring closely. If it looks like steel in coloring, instead of the usual copper color, that wiring section is probably bad from over amperage and would need replacement.

Edited to add part about wiring.

All this lightening and yet my hair remains the same color.

It is rocking and rolling here in Hilo, big long boomers mixed with short sharp ones and lights are flickering.

[] That was funny, Paul.

Lightning.

Lightening is indeed what your hair gets from sun or your hairdresser or it is the load that gets lightened.

Lightning produces lightening of the sky, but not the same word at all.
Oh and heavy thunder here north of Hilo with much darkening of sky.

Maybe the lightning will strike the south side of Puu Oo and make the lava turn to the south again.
