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?

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.
