Was this caused by the air conditioner running all weekend? My husband asked me if I had used my blow dryer or microwave along with the A/C being on and I did use the microwave for 5 minutes the night we arrived.
We noticed no electrical problems in the house during that weekend or after we got home and plugged in.
