Lost power to two outlets
Hi, I am new here and a new homeowner. I have some basic construction, plumbing, and electrical skills but I can't figure this one out. You all seem very helpful and knowledgable so I figured maybe someone here can help me out.
I have all "new" electrical run through the house by the previous owner and so far so good, up until last night. Two of the outlets in the kitchen all of a sudden stopped working, circuit breakers didn't trip, all connections seem to be intact. We have had some pretty serious lightning storms up here this week but I don't think any of them were close enough to do anything. None of the other electronics were affected.
So anyway I am stumped and looking for help. I will do my best to answer your questions so you can answer mine.
Thanks in advance!

the two outlets should still be fed from a GFCI outlet somewhere in the house. Many times they are in a bathroom, garage, outside, basement, etc. This is a cost cutting measure to save the $10 it would have taken to actually put a GFCI at the point of use. Good luck and look hard for the receptacle!
