So like I was working on this big school project tonight and all of the sudden, bang, ALL the power went off, and that sucks since I have a broken ankle and I needed to go downstairs and wake my dad up :p, but like, the worst part of it is now I have to start all over on the story I was supposed to be writing up for tomorow <_<

I remember when there was this HUGE backout that affected our whole city, my cousins all made bets to when they thought that the power would turn back on. And all the roads were being patroled by people, it was a mess :p

Discuss any blackouts you've ever had and any unfortunete things that happened in them

    The last black out was the big black out that happened a couple years ago, when power went out from Ohio (I think) to Toronto.

    I was bored, and couldn't sleep, so I went over to my friends, but then had to leave early (at like 8) then i couldn't sleep for hours.

    I remeber that

    The last blackout I had was in the winter, it snowed and the power went out. I loose it a lot in summer, mostly at night.

    The blackout's over :p
    The only way I could post without power, was to have a laptop with a battery :p

    I remember that one, although for some reason I could get my laptop on o.O, I think it was our conduminiums backup generator or something, but I don't know how that would work, since I would think it would be for light and the elevators.

    Blackouts are annoying, when people crash into the power poles and stuff, and bring down power. Last time power went out was about 8 months ago-10 months ago. Big storm.

    Power rarely goes out here. Surges are common during the stormy season, otherwise I got a boring life. The longest our power was out was like, two hours :(
