View the thread, titled "Lights Out" which is posted in USA Electrical Forum on Electricians Forums.

During a heavy rainstorm in the evening, all lights and plugs went out in the living room, adjacent foyer and 3 outside lights (1 near the front door and 2 garage carriage lights). Everything else worked normally.
Next day I did some trouble shooting. No breakers tripped. I checked voltage coming out of each breaker. 120V. I checked the connections in the breakers and on the neutral bus bar. Seemed OK. So I was convinced that I had 120V and good neutral wires leaving the breaker box.
Next I went to the junction box in the living room. No voltage in the junction box. I checked continuity between the breaker output and the junction box. No continuity. I checked continuity between the neutral bus bar in the breaker box and the neutral wire coming into the junction box. No continuity. AZ home. Stucco, Built on slab. No basement.
I'm stumped. HELP.
 
Thanks for your help, but haven't been able to try your suggestion yet. You see the pic of the one living room wall, hours to move all the shelving and stuff away to get to the outlets. There is a second wall, to the left in the one in the picture, that is somewhat similar, that is, massive display shelves full of stuff. But, again, thanks for your input. It's got to be the solution to the problem. I think it's the only thing that makes any real sense.
