A lot of people losing power last night made me think of this.
What do you do in case of power failure? Wait it out? Candles? flashlights?
You dont realize how much you rely on electricity, until you dont have it

At least it happened on a weekend for them. I would hate not sleeping on a work night

^It's just bad in the summer too. It's hard to sleep with excessive heat

Tell me about it. I'm also the type of person that likes to sleep with blankets. So I'd make it freezing on purpose just to use a blanket

Our only "backup" is candles. We dont have anything that really NEEDS to be on.

I'm in Ringwood NJ. I dont have power here. My cellphone only has a little life left. Sun will be up soon, so we'll go off that

Generally we have candles and booklights and try to make the best of it.

Last night all we had were flashlights. I listened to music and turned in early. I had nothing else to do.
