Awwwwww! power out in my basement apartment AT NIGHT. This is a little scary. Luckily my laptop battery is fully charged (which is producing the only light in my apartment) and I have a cell phone, cause the only other option is a cordless that requires electricity. I think the power is out all over town, it doesn't look like any street lights are on outside. This also means that the internet has died (doing this in notepad). Now, where did i put that flashlight? Maybe time to light some candles. Cellphone towers out too, crap.
(later)
I went and drove around - cause ah, being alone in a pitch black basement is not fun. The whole town was black, I wanted to see if my parent's were out too and they were. We watched the power come on across the street from their house and we figured it was probably on at my house too. It was so weird driving in the pitchblackness while in town - makes for beautiful stars, though.
Sean and
Kamran also experienced similar "laptop lighting" till they found their flashlights:)
