ezpz Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 As a storm seems to be brewing, I was browsing the web board and suddenly, just now, the lights went out. Lit by my laptop, unplugged, I took my flashlight and went up to my roof and everything was dark in all directions as far as I could see. I live in the Lower East Side of Ajijic on the La Floresta border. The lights on that side never seem to go out, so this seemed serious. Then the lights came back on.... Think I'll shut down now and call it a night. So far, we have had a lovely rainy season, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Two minute flicker in Riberas. That's it other than the big wind and temperature drop. Light rain now and hoping for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 It went out in upper west Ajijic sometime during the night, but everything was fine this morning at 7 AM when I got up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Went off in Upper Ajijic twice a little after 10 pm. Just long enough to screw up my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I tried to go to the French Bakery in West Ajijic at around 8 AM, this morning. Sadly they couldn't open because there was no power there. So I ended up at The Garden restaurant in the Ajijic square where there was power.

ezpz Posted July 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I didn't know until I heard the buzz saws this morning but a huge eucalyptus tree fell over on Calle Juan Alvarez, just down from Alex's Pasta. A large crew is working and the entire street is blocked off even to pedestrians so I was not able to see what damage was done - to houses or cars on the street. I did hear something last night in the wind, maybe that was it. My internet was out for several hours over the night but came back early this a.m. Lots of wind, thunder, and lightning last night but only a bit or rain.

Eric Blair Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Caution: Self-serving plug here. This is a time to think about that almost never used 2,500W generator I have listed. I have sometimes been w/o power for several hours and on occasion, several days, usually on a weekend. I can fire up my 4KW generator and run the whole house, including the modem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 We have a 4000 watt generator and CFE keeps it well exercised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
