What was your most terrifying night?
Mine was last Tuesday. It was during a severe thunderstorm. We have had big lightning strikes and big claps of thunder. The electricity went out at 7:30 PM EDT. We have thought that this would be short, but wasn't. I started to get the flashlights and candles ready for the night. I have tried to call my mother to tell her what happened. I got the operator saying that the service provider is down. I started to get thirsty. Me and my grandparents went out to get a drink. My grandfather needed gas. When we got out, there was no power. The traffic lights are out, Buffalo Plaza was shut down, the bank was closed. Cit-Go and Get-Go (gas stations) were both shut down. South Pike Cinemas (a movie theater) was all empty. My grandpa was on the way to Freeport when we noticed that a gas station formally known as Lyndon's was open. The police were there talking to the cashier about the power outages. One person who my grandma worked with was there. She said that Glass-Mart was on half power. We got our drinks and headed back home. I drank all of my drank an hour after we came back. I went up to my bedroom, and played with my Nintendo DS. At 11:30 PM EDT, the power came back on. I set all the clocks, and I was finally able to fall asleep.

Power outages are cool sometimes
