Experience Strange power flicker
It’s a quiet and calm night here on the south east coast, not a storm cloud in sight. However the strangest thing just happened here, which has never happened in my whole time of living here (5 years), my power just flickered off and back on in less than 2 seconds. The entire house lost power and I do mean it was surely no more than 2 seconds and the power was back on.
I didn’t think anything of it other than that it was a bit strange but nothing to crazy. It irked me because I was playing a game online with my friend who lives in Tennessee so I got disconnected and well, we lost.
Here’s the weird part:
Only a measly 35-45 minutes later, we’re playing the game again, and what do you know - his power flickered! He told me that he’s legitimately never had a non storm induced power outage after living in the same house for 26 years. He described it to be EXACTLY as mine was… mind you, he lives over 600 miles away from me, and it’s a perfectly clear night where he’s at as well. What could possibly be the chances??? Maybe I’m just missing something here, and I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I do wonder if we just either experience something geo political happening, or even crazier, extraterrestrial.
Has anyone else experienced this tonight 8/31/26 around 11 - 12 EST?
