Almost. We had a power surge the other day which the SMUD guy said could have shorted and destroyed our dishwasher. For about 30 minutes I sat hopefully waiting, but no dice. All was as it should be when the power was fixed (note to us: Trim your tree branches in the backyard so they don't rub against your 50 year old powerline and cause a surge).
It was quite a show, obviously.
