    <font size="+1">What's the cause of this behavior?<br>
      <br>
      Several times during the last few days the local electricity has
      blinked off and then back on again, staying off long enough to
      turn off computers, cause the microwave oven to indicate PF (power
      failure), and re-set electric clocks to 12:00 AM.  Some
      countermeasures are in place or possible, including 9-volt backup
      batteries in clocks and UPSs (uninterruptible power supplies) into
      which the computers are plugged. <br>
      <br>
      Aside from the annoyance at resetting devices, and the potential
      danger of lost or scrambled computer data, there may well be more
      serious and costly effects at other locations.  So, why is
      electricity delivery more irregular recently? <br>
