    Brownout here in Valencia around 4am. d*mn good thing i was awake for this one so i could jump up and flip the switch off quickly or it could have fried every electronic and fuse in the house. First time I've experienced one where everything just started flickering on and off as if someone were just lightly tapping two wires together.

    I'm not sure of the damage yet but I suspect I have at least one electronic component fried judging from the sound I heard (and now smell) before i was able to get to the main breaker. I'm really hoping it is the WiFi router or converter fuse and not the Xbox.

    Curious if anyone else happened to be awake and experience this crap (or if anyone woke up with a bunch of fried electronics this morning). That kind of sh*t is just nonsense and there is absolutely no excuse for that to happen. The kind of p*ss-poor connection that causes flickering like that is the type of crap that causes fires. Scary stuff knowing I'm hooked up to cables that loosely connected.
