Its rough... Fortunately we got all through dinner and the first episode of "Sherlock" (excellent!) on Amazon Prime with no loss of power. The sump pump did decide not to play and as its raining very hard there is rather a lot of water in the basement. The pump would work but wouldn't cycle on its own. I fiddled with the float for awhile and now it cycles every few minutes. Strange, I'd even vacuumed the dust out earlier today, should have wet tested it though.
