Re: No power
Vince, we just had similar issues corrected in our house about a month or so ago but on a larger scale. The problem we were having was dim lights in some rooms, full power in some rooms, and no power on other rooms. There was no rhyme or reason to why some things worked and others did not. We were doing laundry at the time so I shut off the electric clothes dryer and the basement lights went out. Hmmmmmm. So, I turned the dryer back on and the lights went on. What the %$*&??????
The long and short of it was we had a connection go bad on the exterior service drop at the weatherhead (I believe it was the neutral that had gone bad). And since you said you lost power a couple days ago, which I assume was due to weather conditions, something might have wiggled loose during high winds. If you have a digital meter face on your meter box, see if you have any readout or an unusually low readout. If you have no readout or and unusually low readout, I'd bet the issue is at your service drop. I called our electric utility company and they fixed it at no charge to us.
