I found the lost electricity!!
 
As someone suggested, the first outlet in the circuit had cracked and
allowed the pushed in wire to come loose.
I replaced the plug but I have to go back and pigtail the outlet.

Thanks

Secondary moral here--don't use the push-in connections.

I recommend using the screw terminals on the new one when you do finish
the job.

Boy that must have been leaking a long time - I'll bet your bill was
really high the last couple of months :-)

Wonder if the power cut in New Orleans was that simple?

Do good work.
It's longer in the short run
but shorter in the long run.
