In the US Northeast and Midatlantic, a Nor'easter October snowstorm ravaged the states of New York and Connecticut...
and my friends in Connecticut in some areas are out of Power after 9 days in the dark....
on another note, they got so bored that they started practicing bestiality to entertain themselves...(not this part's a joke)...the rest is serious though

In 2005 we had a bad snowstorm that was coupled with high winds. Our house was completely drifted over and we couldn't get out. Our power went out as the pole at the end of our road was downed when a transport truck hit it in the storm. It was out for almost two days........but we had a oil/wood burning furnace and fireplace so we got by just fine. I was mainly worried about the pipes freezing as when the electricity is out, the well pump is out too, so no water flow, even though the hot water tank is heated by the oil/wood combo furnace. When you live in the North, you are prepared for such things, and we had plenty of flashlights, lanterns, bottled water, and cast iron pots/kettle that could be used on the fireplace. The perishables in my fridge/freezer were just put out onto the Florida room to keep cool.
Our nearest neighbour was about a km down the highway, but we kept in touch via walkie talkie. Our power was back on two days before he was able to plow us out of the house. It was an interesting almost five days....

Fireplace turns on by itself as well as other electronics?

So, I've had a few weird things happen to me before if you look at my other question about idiotic comment's where I posted weird things happened. Now things are just getting weird.
My parents recently got a new house in SW Charlotte, NC by DR Horton. We moved in two months ago it was a big 2 story and I really like the house and school is good. But recently weird things are beginning to happen here. One time I just sit in the living room and we have a gas fire place between two windows with a portrait above it, you have to use a switch on the wall to turn it on; so well one time i was just watching aerial america: New York and all of a sudden the fireplace starts up. It's pretty creepy and it just starts up regularly. When the family sits together, when I'm just passing through, or just randomly. Sometimes when I come home from school and nobody's here the fire place is on or just randomly starts. Then sometimes the microwave turns on by itself. it's really weird.
So is this just an electrical line burnt out or is it something else it is scary. What if something goes wrong and our beautiful house goes up in flames?

Answer
Your parents need to call the builder and get him to check the gas and electric lines. There could be a short as you suspect and it needs fixing before there is an accident.
