after telling CL&P our local power provider here in North Eastern Ct. of wires laying across a tree branch and also complaining of an odd sound reverberating through the house at the slightest breeze we suffered a huge power surge This was when the swaying treelinb finally severed the nutral feed in the drop line from the street to out home.We found out later that CL&P was responsible for all out electronics losses because they had been notified several times of the fact this tree was compromising safety of the powerlines. We found out to late to do anything about it at the time (several years ago) One thing we did learn is that ANYTHING with a clock or instant on was the only things that got fried! Micro wave ,Coffee maker,DVD player,The cook stove anything that had a clock.. Now if we loose power (different home) I kill all the circut breakers but 1 or unplug anything like we lost so no sudden power supply when power returns.
