Power Outage of 2011

How was your routine changed on Thursday afternoon and evening?

Well for starters it took me about an hour and a half to get home from school. When I finally did, me and my family brought out our all purpose emergency supply kit. then we later brought out marshmallows and made s'mores.

What do you really need in terms of electricity?

In all honesty I really only needed some power to charge my phone and pump some gas.

Were you surprised by the reactions of those around you to the loss of electricity? How/Why/Why no?

Nah, not really I was kind of expecting people to freak out, heck I even expected a riot to break out sooner or later.
