I was at my boyfriend's home when the power went out. I thought that it was just his apartment and kept flipping the switches in the power box. It did nothing. It finally dawned on me what was happening when I heard cars honking like crazy. Oh crap it's a blackout! We were without poweruntil 4:30 PM, water until 6:30, and hot water until Saturday morning. My shower this morning was the best one ever!
