JCP&L outage or just me?

To do: Check the main breaker in your electric service panel: if it's tripped, unplug appliances and reset it.
To do: It trips again? Reset the breakers one by one (all the way OFF, then ON) to find the circuit.
To do: Do your neighbors have power? If so, the problem is in your home's wiring: call an electrician.
