When lots of homes lose power, the issue is a blown transformer or downed power lines. That's for the utility company to work on, and there's not much we can do about it.

Never an excellent indication. Unplug whatever connected to that outlet. Flip the breaker to switch off power to the outlet and call us immediately.

Despite how you view the noise, it is typically a sign of a breaker that's declining to trip. When the circuit overheats, Breakers are supposed to trip. If the breaker is failing to do its job, then your circuitry is dealing with heat and power loads it was never suggested to manage. Shut down all power and call us immediately.

The breakers keep tripping = emergency

This means one of three things: your electrical system is getting overloaded, you have got a short circuit, or you've got a ground fault. Numerous elements of your electrical system may have failed to produce those issues.
