If this were an issue upstream from the electric panel (i.e with the street service), then I'd think half the circuits in the house would be shorted and the other half would be bumped up to 240V.
"Shorted" might not be the proper term here, since that means connected to something it should not be connected to. It could be an open instead. Let's use technical terms in technical discussions.
It would be correct to say that half the circuits in the house would be dead and the other half would be bumped up to 240V. Saying something is shorted means you've figured out the exact reason for the symptoms.
