After hurricane Irma there was a huge number of houses with power out in half the house after the storm. This was on the news all the time. They said to call and electrician. Well in 95% of the cases its one simple thing that's the cause.
Its the GFI circuit hidden in your garage or laundry room. Sometimes the GFI can get blown all together or they just wear out and don't come back on. Try hitting the reset button or holding it while someone try's the other circuits. if the GFI plug doesn't reset or work when you hold the button in its probably blown and needs replacing. But most times if you reset it the affected outlets usually two or three, should work. Also if the GFI keeps popping and going off it's time to replace it.
