So last night, the power went out on my block. It's really kind of eerie how dark it gets. We were completely unprepared. We're fumbling around looking for our phones for an initial source of light. And then we're like, "Where are the candles?" I remembered there's a flashlight in the garage, and when I found it, the batteries were dead. We looked all over the house for a second flashlight and finally found that and a set of tealight candles. I then had the bright idea of getting the portable DVD player and watching something. That battery was out too sadly.
Our halloween stuff was still out so one of the candle holders we used was a skull, so that was kind of creepy.
I called the power company and the recording said that it's usually fixed in 4 hours, but it was only like an hour and a half last night, so not too bad.
So just a reminder to all of you to have flashlights and candles ready and portable electronics batteries charged up. I'll be picking up a set of D batteries today.
