Prevention That Helps in Lake Hefner

• Keep a note of which outlets are GFCI-protected and which single GFCI guards a string - it turns a dead-outlet mystery into a one-minute answer.
• Never ignore a warm plate, a crackling switch or a plug that will not stay seated; devices report early and cheaply, or late and otherwise.
• Test GFCIs with their own buttons twice a year - storm season and the fall are the metro's natural dates - and replace any that fail to trip or reset.
