Hi all,

For those of you that missed the first installment, a transformer
exploded a couple streets over late Sunday night...

Turns out that the failure of the dishwasher looks exactly like ...
thanks,

Why are you doing this? If it was due to a utility company
transformer defect, don't they pay? If not don't you have homeowner's
insurance that covers it?



'cause I want my stuff back up and running. Apparently there are SO
many claims in my area that SWMBO hasn't even been contacted by the
power people yet. The insurance company is holding off until they find
out whether or not the power company is paying, and they said that they
too have been hit by a large number of claims in my area - they're using
a "catastrophe team" to deal with all the claims apparently. Which
makes me wonder what would happen in a REAL catastrophe - a couple
appliances down is a PITA, not the end of the world.

Besides, I figure if I spend a couple minutes figuring out exactly which
component got whacked and claim for just that, I'll be more likely to a)
get the claim paid and b) if it goes through insurance, not have a rate
increase.
