My other suggestion is that wiring or connections were wet. We recently
discovered that a leak over our garage (unfortunately where much of the
wiring passes) was causing breakers to blow in heavy rain. When they
dry out, power can be restored.

Heh. In my old apartment in MN, the wiring was so bad (installed in the
40's outside the walls in conduit) that if I used my toaster and my
microwave, the voltage would drop enough my computer would lock. My
clocks were *always* wrong, too.
