Every light bulb that was on in my house just blew.
How weird is that?

Computer is fine, so is the television, but the bulbs in the two lamps and a ceiling fan all crapped out at the same time. I replaced the all the bulbs (6 altogether) and everything works fine again, but creepy as heck on a dark rainy night alone in the country.

Must have been a surge of some kind I guess. The TV microwave, stove and all the other latent power sucking devices I have where fine though. It was just the light bulbs and only the ones that were on.

Yes - a little unsettling. And no, it has never happened before.

DOOM? Well no.

Just creepy and I thought I'd share.

No surge, actually light bulbs are more resilient to electric surges, than other electric appliances.

not sure about Canada but usually different things run on different circuits.Check your fuses/or clipsal.(do you have them there ?lol)if somethings shorted out the wiring in the roof(water from leaky roof/rain)it can blow the globes and trip the fuse/clipsal.
usually your lights will be on one circuit
powerpoints on another
hotwater on another etcetc

Oooh! But I replaced the old ones with the compact florescent bulbs. And actually now that I think about it, there are only four more incandescent bulbs left in the house.

Hmmm.

Light Bulb DOOM !!!

I have breakers here and that was the first thing I checked. I wondered if maybe the lamps and ceiling fan were on the same breaker - they're not. Also, the ceiling fan kept going, just the light bulbs all pooched out.

Weird. But I feel confident in saying that it has nothing to do with the sinkhole, aliens, or WW3.

Same thing for me, although only 3 bulbs.
I have noticed that when the solar storms
happen, the smoke detectors will chirp.
That began yesterday. We were supposed to
be experiencing a heavy solar storm yesterday
and today. A friend told me about seeing
the "northern lights" in Michigan. Anyway,
the smoke detector that was chirping was
right by the ceiling fan/lights that went
out. The chirping stopped as it always
seems to do. I also had a clock go berserk
and it was doing things that clock should
not have done, like displaying numbers that
had no possible time sequence. I finally took
the batteries out and left them out for a while.
I replaced them, and the clock was fine. I have
had the clock for years and it had never
malfunctioned like it did. I am chalking it
up to the solar storms.

Hey Op....Take it as a Warning! This happened 6 years to the day Tuesday for us, Wife went into a room and two bulbs blinked twice and burned out, she went into another room and that bulb also blinked twice and burned out(different circut)...To make a long story short, when I checked them the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I knew it was a sign...she had to travel that day with our Grand child and I warned her all day something was warning us....I said drive below the speed limit ect....well she got 6 miles away and a car crossed the Medium and hit headon into the car right in front of her Killing the Women and her two Small Children...If she would have been driving just a fraction faster...it would have been her...True story!
