Blackout

[Rayquarian]

Our last major power outage is after the tornado that came on February 24, 2007.  Our power was out for about a whole week!  Luckily, we had a generator, so we could watch TV.  There was no internet, however.

Last Power Outage: Probably during the last big thunderstorm. It only lasted about half an hour though. They don't last long here since we're in a weird spot where severe weather is no where near as severe as other parts of the country.

Last major outage: The infamous ice storm of 2000 (around here anyway). Power was out for most of the state for about 3 days. Ours was out for about fifteen hours or so. Basically we just kind of went outside and messed around for the day. Also, we used a batter powered radio (we keep one just in case of something like this) and listened to the AM/analog radio broadcasts about updates.

My mom has a storm saying she survived that ice storm.

You guys have some rough ones. I recall a couple of years back we had one that lasted like, two days. That's the worst I've ever been through - and that was in the middle of the summer too, so it wasn't bad at all (Except the 100 F heat D:). I guess I'm lucky.

I don't remember, they usually happen in the summer around here though.

We usually get them in winter, it seems. When it's -40. :|
