While I've been noticing people posting here about Suddenlink, I'm  
wondering if anyone has noticed some PG&E power surges in the past 24  
hours.  According to the readings on my UPS with Line Regulation  
equipment I've been seeing some rather high end readings here lately,  
like 129 Volts instead of the 110-120 VAC range.  Probably it went up  
even higher momentary.   Last night somewhere in the 2100 hour I  
heard a loud crackle pop and found the surge protector for the TV and  
stereo equipment beeping, and could not reset it.  It seems a goner.  
Outside two breakers had been tripped.  This AM at 1100 there was  
another loud crackle pop, and next thing I know my Belkin UPS Battery  
with line regulation is also on the blink and not resetting.  This  
time there were no breakers in the box tripped.  My TrippLite in the  
other room is reading 125 VAC.  This is in north Arcata, Janes Road  
area.
