So Uhm. I've determined we're the only house on the street out. I tried calling the power company but my phone won't connect to the 1-800 number. The main breaker won't set in any position... and I don't know what the fuck could be wrong. I called my parents, they're on the phone with the power company but no idea what happened.

One thing to try as an experiment: turn off and/or unplug anything you can do without.
Then turn off the smaller breakers you can do without.
Then try the main(s) again.

I'm not an electrician.

@b4cks4w @mcfate I turned them all off, and the main wouldn't throw. I went to my grandma's house and asked my visiting aunt for help. She followed me home, we did the same thing and it finally threw. Turning them back on the pool equipment one blew, and scared the shit out of me, and took the main out with it. They're all on now except the pool equipment. My uncle was called who's an electrician, says I should be fine as long as I don't try to turn on the pool 💩.

@b4cks4w Uncle said the reason the main probably wouldn't throw was it was still overheated. By going over and back it had time to cool and thus throw again. But holy crap my heart rate still hasn't started to come down from the scare of that main blowing in front of me... 😳 @mcfate
