Power [Mostly OT]

[phil]

I've been having something odd happening over the past few weeks -- 
getting worse -- and wonder if anyone here might have a comment because 
of being local or because of facilities experience.

Sometimes various electrical things here turn off for anywhere from an 
estimated 1/4 second to 5 seconds.  At the same time, other items on 
the same circuit keep running fine.  When it starts happening, it will 
continue for maybe ten minutes  with two-or-three of these flickers per 
minute, happening two-or-three times per day.  (When it started it was 
more like a couple of "blinks" and then again the next day.)

The things that are affected include the TV, furnace, refrigerator, 
ceiling lights....  So far, the computers haven't had a problem, but 
it's nerve-wracking to be working when the lights suddenly go out!

Anybody have experience that would point to a cause for this kind of 
thing?
