It tripped multiple breakers both upstairs and down. Luckily, my Bernina is on a surge protector. It was not hit. I wasn't as lucky on the downstairs computer, it fried the surge protector, the computer, monitor, modium, and router. I have wifi for my laptop for travel use, so I am putting it to use right now. Hubby will use it later to do disaster relief work on line. I was sure to run both sewing machines for a while this am. Made 6 blocks for one quilt and two more white Farmer's Wife blocks.
