and how long was it out for?
We had a bad storm last night and my power has been out since 9:30 last night (I'm at work, so that's how I can still get on here... lol) They're saying it could be several days before it's back on. I'm glad it's not winter. I'd much rather be without air conditioning than heat.

Wow… funny you should ask, because my power went out yesterday due to a storm that came through (probably the same storm…lol) – but certainly not to the magnitude that it has effected you. Our power flickered on and off for a while all day, with power being out for about 30-45 minutes one time at it’s max. Other than that, it is up and I am back here playing catch up with my answers now. Ha Ha! Hope you get your power back soon, and *whispering* don’t worry… I will not tell the boss. ^_^ Cheers!

Surprisingly ours has gone out during every one of the severe thunder or wind storms in this area. The last time was for a few minutes last week.
Even though most of the wiring has been converted to the new extra-strong style (and even where there are underground utilities) there have been big outages. I assumed that the failure was at central locations not just a little tree down here and there.,

About 3 years ago at my old house. It was during a storm, but the power was only out from about 8:30pm till 2:30am - we called that night the "black out of 04". That house always lost power for some reason.
Good luck though - hopefully when you get home you'll have power!

We've had more power outages in seven months this year than when I lived in a 3rd world country for two years-Mexico. It's gone out five times here in southern Michigan. Consumers Energy should travel to Mexico and study how their experts handle electricity.

Last winter we had a Major Snow storm.
your stuff in the freezer will be good for 2 days if you do not open the freezer.Your Frig stuff will be ok for a day but that it.If you have lots of stuff in the frig go get some ice and put it in cooler to save you some money.I hope it comes on soon for you.

About a month ago. We had a "brown out". It's where the electric company feels people are using too much energy and they turn off power in certain areas.
Isn't that nice of them?

Mine cut off last night about 9:30 too but it came on later.
I don't know what time because I was asleep, I just remeber waking up when everything came back on but went right back to sleep.

I live in Kansas, so I was part of that two week power shortage back in January .
What annoys me is those nano-second power surges. I rather have a power outage than those.. Power surges are hard on electronics.
