A loud blast right around 8 pm last night

One of those blasts when a transformer explodes. Residential lights went out immediately. Street lights stayed lit.
Big screen tv went black, the movie continued on the laptop. WIFI switched automatically to the portable transmitter. I do consider buying a few extra USB fans.
Electricity restarted at 3 am.
Overnight rain accumulation was half an inch

Expect a mix of rain and clouds with occasional wind gusts all day today, Friday, August 30

I would not recommend any travel through mountain highways today
