It is with Considerable ALARM_To Whom It May Concern at Electric Co

To Whom It May Concern: Sunday, May 22, 2005 It is with considerable alarm that I conclude that what used to seem to be power outages have recently (in the last two to three weeks) become departmentalized power surges, possibly isolated to my (approximate) quarter of a home that houses (two duplexes rented and one family dwelling) three households. I reported flickering lights and other electrical output (audio, fans, nightlights) to my landlord a number of days ago and he had not noticed the same. More than a couple of nights ago my computer monitor went completely weird but would not turn off, then I noticed the computer had shut down, and only upon turning off the surge protector, was I able to turn off the monitor. As I had not turned lights on, it was only later I noticed four digital clocks stopped at flashing 12:00. That caused me to suspect a very brief outage had caused my computer to shut down unexpectedly a number of days earlier. Could a surge have caused my computer to come ON??? another day when I was certain I had shut everything down before leaving three hours earlier, only to come home and puzzle how it had come to be on? My printer seemed to have been acting oddly on a number of occasions recently. I have found it blinking madly and somewhat unresponsive to efforts to turn it off and set it right, requiring resetting. Last night I awoke at one or so to find three of my four digital clocks in flashing 12:00 mode, but not the fourth. Brooding concern kept me from sleeping more than an hour and sometime later in the night I heard my fan lug down briefly but my bedroom digital clock stayed in sync. Checking the house, though, my microwave digital was not only blinking but would not take a reset without my unplugging it and plugging it back in and, once again, my printer had come on (it definitely was not on before, I had checked since it had become such a frequent monitor) and was again in madly blinking mode. Clearly different outlets, with different surge protectors, have been affected differently, at different times over these last few weeks. Could this please be checked out? I thank you.
