SIX AND A HALF HOURS
THAT’S HOW LONG THE POWER WAS OUT TODAY
Fucking hell, so the power surges and whatever no big deal. Surges again, goes out. Emergency lights go on. Somewhat inconvenient but not so bad. About an hour later, emergency lights go out. Emergency emergency lights are on. Think 1ftx1ft squares. Two per probably a 70ft hallway, clustered together on one end. No lights in the bathrooms. (Unless you lived in one specific hallway, that was pitch dark with no windows.) Not okay. Turns out the entire town is powerless. Well fuck. It gets to the point where the emergency emergency lights die and all the light in the red glowing exit signs. Horror movie anyone? It was like looking into hell or something. Me and a couple of friends went and had a fairly lit room by using six flashlights. We also spent all day playing bananagrams and Apples to Apples and overall just going “WTF power.”
