It does sound like you tripped a GFI. The outlets may look "normal" but they are probably wired to a gfi outlet which may be someplace else in the house. In a friend's house, there is a single GFI box next to the fuse box in the basement. The sump pump is plugged into it, and the bathroom outlets on the first and second floor have been "piggybacked" off of it. Basically every outlet in the house that might get wet is protected by the one gfi in his basement.
