What you first do when there is a power interruption?

fuss, big time.i hate for the power to go out. then i get my flashlights & i have a comple of battery operated lanterns. they are the greatest.

So far for the 1-2 times i experienced power interruption, i din switch off anything.. hehe^_^ I just leave them alone so that when the power is back, i need not switch on everything again.. lol=D But luckily the times when i experienced power interruption is during 7+ till 8pm, so it's not too bad because we are not eating nor getting ready to sleep just yet^_^ All we do was to gather outside our house and after a few mintues, the power will be back again^_^ haha

Hello,Pehpot!>>>>>>>>>> If I am with my computer and power interruption occurred it is the first thing to shutdown the computer and lit the chargeable lights,at least one to cover all the rooms.And if it is late night than problem arises to sleep.If the electricity fails there will be no fan in the bedroom,so effects the good night sleep.thanx.

If it's at night the first thing I do is stumble over about 3 or 4 things trying to find a flash light or candle. I always put the flash light right where I can find it easy but when I need it it's never there. My Grand Daughter has all kind of candles all over the place but they are not easily found in the dark. One day I am going to set me up a battery back up that will come on if the grid fails.

If I am in bed I stay there. If I am up and it is night I fumble through the house trying to find a candle, a lamp, or a flashlight. Most of the time I fumble to the kitchen and turn on the stove I have a gas stove. Then I light an oil lamp I keep for that ocassion. I look outside to see what is going on. Then I just sit and wait or get on my cell phone and see who else power is out.

hmm, if the computer happens to be turn on when there is a power interruption, that's the first thing I'll turn off and then the main switch and the refrigerator. After that, I look for a candle and light it out. And then, since I don't think I can sleep in that situation, I'll just lay down at the sofa, talking with my family or playing some games in my cellphone while waiting for the power to resume again. However, if the power interruption seems to be quite longer before it resume again, we will just sleep but surely I can't sleep comfortably since it was hot and all.

Hahaha. I don't have kids. And also there is no power cut in my city. My bedroom is very well ventilated. When ever there is a powercut we have to make some backups to have a uninterruptable power supply.

Well, since we don't have a kids around and we are all big enough to manage our own probably I will look for flash light and perhaps a candle and have chat with my family waiting till the power back on. This is normally what were doing if we are still up that time.

Usually I wait to see if the power
will come back on momentarily. When it
doesn't, I get the candles and flashlights
ready. I will usually get a book out and read
or a household chore, that can be done with
no electricity. Makes you wonder how older
people survived. We have all gotten used
to the advantage of electricity, and take it
for granted now. I'm just thankful I do not
have to use a outhouse....
Hope you have a great day!

Usually when there is power interruption i waited for it to come back. I usually go out and talk with friends and if it happens during night time. I spend time talking with my parents then after an hour of waiting if it didnt came back thats the time i will be preparing my bed and wash my face before going to bed.
