The last real power outage I went through was the one that affected all of the North East (OH-NY-ON.. remember, when you Americans kept blaming us Canucks but turns out the fault was incompetence in OH
) .. I might've enjoyed it more had it not been when I was living in a high rise .. which meant that we didn't even have running water for a couple of days, and some annoying guy had a generator running through the night (not the noise so much as that he had a bulb lit up while I was in darkness) .. but on the bright side, walking up & down 18 floors was good exercise.
