In that case, it's probably fine. Power feeds are composed of two hot 120v lines and a neutral/ground as a return. If the power company loses one line, you'll see a situation like that. Turn off your main breaker some time and make sure everything goes out instead of hiring someone.

That's what my and my husband were discussing during the outage. Is it normal to have an apartment/building (our neighbors have the same issue) wired from two different outside lines/grids? Just to be clear - it appears that the half of the apartment that lost power wasn't completely out - when we turn on the light switch, we could see that the light is on, just very dim (barely can see the light). So, it would *appear* that half the circuit has full power (everything working as normal), while the other half has very weak power (enough to have dim lights, but not enough to power a TV, for example). BTW, power is back! and AC is back! Yay!

If only half of your apartment went out during a legitimate outage, you should really have an electrician by some time to see why all of your circuits aren't connected to one central breaker. It could literally save your life some day.

It's a power outage.
Go to http://outagecenter.pseg.com/external/default.html to get a map of power outages in area. PSEG estimates power will be back around 5:30am

There are quite a few buildings on my block with no lights at all (except the front door light). So weird!!!
And my downstairs neighbor has the same problem. Could be our building specific - but I think there are too many dark buildings on the block...

That sounds like it is internal to your apartment..check your fuses/circuit breakers.

I just lost half of the power in my apartment (like half of the living room has power, but the other half is out). Lives near VVP.
Anyone else?
