After a lightning storm the other night, my garage and breezeway power was gone. I can't find any circuit breaker that is tripped that represents this circuit in the main box. The garage was an addon to the house. Besides wiring a to a breaker in the main box, what are some other possibilities of how this circuit could be protected?

Check if you have a GFI outlet that tripped, which could be feeding your garage and breezeway.
Awesome. I just found it and hit the button and presto all is well. Thanks so much. You just helped me win a bet with my wife. Now she has to 'put out' when she comes home in an hour.
"has to"? Geez, that sounds exciting.

Make sure you have the camcorder rolling and take some pics. Its the least you can do since we helped you out.
