The last time I remember the power going out was about 4 or 5 years ago when I was at my old house. It only lasted a couple hours. We don't really have serious storms where I live.

It goes out from time to time, from big storms and such. Usually comes back quickly enough.

Though there was one time... I'd just come home from renting a new game, and the power went out for 3 days. I was more annoyed that I couldn't play than anything else.

Where I used to live we'd only have power outages when there was a thunderstorm.

Now I get them all the time (usually only in bad weather.) Lucky for me they never last too long.

Power outages rarely happen where I live, aside from severe lightning. When it does go out, it seems to stay out for 4 hours, I once went without power for 2 days. I just pray my PSP is charged when the power goes out so I can play it.

The day after I got DotD, the power went out for a straight week. I almost suicided.

we have blackouts that last days. but that's rarely. I rely too much on electricity. but when we do get blackouts we usually use our telescope. it amuses me for hours.

There was a widespread power outage across north Queensland (in Australia, around where I live) a couple of days ago, where a few cities and all the areas in between were blacked out. It was pretty hot without the fans and air-conditioning, but oddly eerie to see the neighbourhood so pitch black in the night.

Well, I was just wondering, what is the longest period of time that you have had no power? What's the reliability of the electricity where you live? What do you's get up to, when the power goes out? (for example, play monopoly? Go sight-seeing?) Do you have any epic stories?
