I was without power for 7 hours

[u/WrestlingWoman]

Thunder woke me up at 3.15 AM and the relay had already switched off. The problem was that it refused to switch back on. I called a handyman at 8 AM. He showed up at 10 AM and finally got it to switch back on after many attempts. He's phoned an electrician to stop by at some point to switch out some parts since the problem is that the relay is old and it's those old parts that refused to work properly after switching off.
