Cable TV went off. Operates normally when restarted.
Telephone "dinged" but didn't ring.
Lights flickered, but power wasn't off long enough to require clocks to be reset.
Battery operated smoke alarms emitted a brief squeal.
Lights in the garage door openers went on, but doors didn't open.

Our next door neighbor had an identical experience.

NH Electric Coop website shows no power outage at that time.

Did anyone else experience the same thing? Any ideas about the cause? (My neighbor thinks it was poltergeists)

Hoosier, I just noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum and glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends.

May have been a transformer flash...
