What’s with the power failures tonight?

February 11, 2012 by Tricia

I can’t believe how many times the powers gone out tonight!

I was out of town for two days and I came home to the power being out. I have no idea how long it was off that first time or if that was even the first time it was off today. Luckily it was still daylight out so I didn’t might the power failure all that much.

The next time the power went out I was trying to eat dinner and of course just as I was starting to eat I was suddenly in darkness. Just as I got up to get a flash light so I could start lighting some candles the lights and the led over the dinner table went on. It was out for long enough that I went searching for alternative light sources.

Then just a few minutes ago the power went out again for about five minutes!

It’s snowing out fairly hard now too … so I have a feeling that the power will go out one or two more times. It’s also absolutely freezing too! I could be in for a very cold dark night

    It is important to plan ahead for the possibility of losing electric power. Know where the flashlight and other emergency supplies are kept.

    During the hurricane, we lost power for 9 days. It was terrible.
