Power outage
Power has been out most of the day here. It went out at around 9am and only came back at about 4pm. This happens a couple times a year when the weather gets bad... usually high winds are to blame.
But it used to be worse when I first moved to this area in the late 90s. It seems every time we had any kind of moderate storm, the power would go out. They've made many improvements since then thankfully.
Anyone else lose power a lot? Or today at all?

"funny" you mention this.. As it just happened to me yesterday..
I was going to create a thread about it, since I found it interesting how "crippled" I got without anything working.
No TV means you cant chill watching series or a movie.. No computer and internet means you cant work efficiently.. no nothing basically..
So.. with nothing working I could not do anything and I had the choice of either going out with friends or do some house chores.. ;-)
But still... When power goes out, it really hits you how dependant we are on all these electrical devices... :-(

About an hour after I posted this thread, the power went out once again and didn't come back until about 10:30pm.

At my prior residence a couple years ago, we lost power alot! Typically we'd get lots of quick flashes, to compete outages for about 30mins+.
At first, I thought it was something going on in the house, but later, I figured it was the power-station terminal up the street. The grid we were on, and that routing station had to be knocked offline a lot due to tons of construction going on in the surrounding areas

Our power couldn't decide for awhile if it was going to stay on or go off. Our grid seemed to hold its own pretty well, but other areas of town lost the battle.
Did you ever get that eery feeling when driving through a town at night when there are no lights on anywhere and your car is the only one on the road?
