It usually has to do with the transformer you are attatched to. Our house
and the next were on the same transformer, hence we both had not regained
power after they fixed the rest of the street. They had to come back out
and fix our transformer (it's in the back yard on a seperate pole). So if
you trace your lines your probably notice how your grouped.

By the way Steve, Gibbon got backup yesterday.
