Question for those living on NP near 494. Did yall have a power surge yesterday?
 
I did to the degree of having two breakers tripped in my apt.
 
Was a PITA as I lost lights in my bathroom. 4951

In the case of bathroom....indeed.
 
Outside...typically a brown out is an undervoltage and doesn't pop breakers 4951

If you don't have a whole house Surge Protector Device (SPD) (sorry, apt dwelling friends), I'd highly recommend you get one installed.  You can get a decent type 2 SPD that protects your gear from both external and internal surges for a under $200.  I have the Intermatic IG1240RC3 that runs about $175 and have never had an issue with it.  In addition to the type 2, you should also have at least all of your critical/expensive gear plugged into a good power strip (type 3 SPD) that will catch anything the type 2 misses.This guy does a pretty good job of explaining it: https://www.stevejenkins.com/blog/2014/10/whats-the-best-whole-house-surge-protection/ 4951
