Last night we had a thunderstorm and this morning, one entire circuit in
our box is dead.

The breaker was not tripped. I even turned it off and on again but that
did nothing.

One other breaker was off, but that only goes to the indoor tub\jacuzzi
which is not working so I MAY have turned it off myself a while ago, but I
don't think so. I turned that back on.

The dead circuit is for the garage door openers and some lights and
outlets in the upstairs bathrooms for the most part.

Any ideas of what may have happened?

Thanks so much.

I do a lot of handyman work and you would not believe how many times
that I find a non-working garage door is simply the result of a GFI
that has been tripped by a hair dryer or heater plugged into the bath
circuit. Don't feel too bad that you didn't catch it earlier. What
you went through is very common.

I have a house I bought nearly two years ago. Just a few days ago, I
finally found out ALL the outlets that go out when a GFCI pops in the
bathroom. One really feels stupid when this happens.
