Day 272 Power Outage




So we're eating dinner around 6pm when the power goes out. We hear sirens so we turn on our scanner to find out that a power box has caught fire. We go out to check it out (along with a bunch of other people we know from the neighborhood) and find that the main box for our section of the neighborhood caught fire. The fire chief (guy in the white t-shirt) lives behind us so he was out there trying to get things moving so that we get our power back (and he can watch the game) and we're told a few hours. Well, some areas got their power back around 9pm, but ours was out until 5am the next morning. Good thing we have a generator and were able to plug our fridge and freezer into that and run it for the night.
