Power Outages
« on: December 05, 2006, 11:40:59 PM »
You might've heard of the big ice storm in the midwest. The storm, and the trees falling cut power for thousands of people. A couple thousand are still without it.

I've just got out of 4 days without power. My parents say I've been in longer ones when I lived in Guam. I remember one after a hurricane that was 9 days. That was a while back so I don't remember much.

What was the longest you've gone without power in your house?

+ post here when you came out of the one I'm talking about.

3 hours when a energy unit fell from the post(?) cause a guy hit it with  his car...

No disasters around here, just corruption, poverty and hot chicks.

Mine went out for 4 days once.

That was when I posted a bit about my basement flooding. We had to remove everything in pitch black with only a few flashlights to aid us.

No more than a day that I can recall. One of the very few decent things about Michigan is that we're so used to awful weather that services are quick to solve problems like power outages.

In the good ol' power outage of '03.  The one that covered all of Ontario + a bit of NE America IIRC.

I was at a friends house for the week anyways, so it was fantastic fun.
I don't remember how long the outage was though.

I don't remember any particularly long ones...

I remember one that lasted several hours, but it was a long time ago. Can't remember the cause.

Our school had an outage for half an hour. Same storm you have except we didnt get as much damage. West side of our city was the most devastated.
