St. Louis storms are hard on electrical systems.

What to Do During an Electrical Emergency in Kirkwood
If you smell burning or see sparking: turn off the main breaker if you can do so safely, leave the home, and call 911 first โ then call us at (314) 408-5647. For less urgent situations (a breaker that won't reset, partial power loss), stay clear of the problem area and call us to diagnose before using the circuit again.
