27 hours of darkness is over..we had a windstorm with winds of 80 mph..me and my OH were just betting on which tree would land on our house first. the blackout was spread over the whole county and up north into canada as far as i've heard. the tv and internet just came up ten minutes ago so i'm not really informed of the damage it's caused elsewhere. many things in the fridge went bad. no heat..kitty and i curled up under a blanket together for warmth which worked quite well. all the candles burned out during the night and my flashlight went dead.
anyway, i am SO happy the electricity is back on.
