Last night we lost electricity and it took 10 hours to have it restored. Sadly tonight it happened once again. Just like last night, it started with a loud explosion somewhere nearby. The sound alone was enough to make everyone...

After Melisa

kay lar @jaylar (3665) • Kingston, Jamaica 29 Oct

The major problem with the hurricane was false information. We didn't know where or when it would hit. First it was Thursday so schools closed, court houses, businesses, etc. But there was no problem at all. Friday was a...

Melisa Storm

kay lar @jaylar (3665) • Kingston, Jamaica 23 Oct

we don't know if it will hit us, if it will be a hurricane or just rain. The meteorological service is less accurate than Grandma's bunions. If it hits electricity will go down for weeks... like last year... I was off line for...

My Oven

Fishmomma @Fishmomma (11658) • United States 25 Jul

I posted about my oven off an hour, but not anymore, as the power was out today. The power company set it to the correct time. Now I hope the power stays on, as my battery went down a lot running the refrigerator and freezer....

There was a tornado that went through, not our city, but the countryside just to the West of us... It took out power mains in the countryside leading to our city, some telephone poles and repeaters for the internet. So, while we...

Well power's out, kind of.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84702) • Daytona Beach, Florida 13 Mar 25

Thanks to our solar pannals we're able to run the fans and watch t.v. But, I can't use the stove, washer or dryer. My laptop also has power and most of the plugs in our house, so I have wi-fi. Only 31 people impacted at...

Strange power surges.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84702) • Daytona Beach, Florida 18 Dec 24

This evening the house has been experiencing random power surges where one room will loose power for a few seconds or one or two things. I just randomly lost the internet for a few minutes. We lost the t.v. twice, but not the...

Well, my house is running totally on solar. I can't get into my washing machine because my house isn't producing enough power to power it. That's because its overcast and cloudy. When it's running it's normal 4 to five killiwats,...

The worst that could happen today...

B @pitsipeahie (5758) 16 Apr 24

is to lose electricity for two hours! The last thing I need is a two-hour power outage. It might not seem like much, but imagine dealing with a scorching 46°C heat index without AC or a simple fan. It's like being stuck in an...

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84702) • Daytona Beach, Florida 15 Feb 24

Good morning. To be transparent, we do have solar pannals, and they do provide power to our home. Even in the event of a grid failure. Now, I had forgotten that last week I'd set up an appoitment to have a part fixed on our solar...

What do you do when you have no power?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 12 Oct 23

What do you do when a power line goes down and your building has no power, only emergency lights, and no internet? You have an hour long recess, of course, while the police block the road and the emergency repairs are made. This...

It has been a good day.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 22 Sep 23

We had quite the thunderstorm this morning, but it cleared off in time for us to go to the pool which is across the street from the school. I believe we got between one and two inches of rain. I guess at home, in Florence, we had...

Back in 2008, when Hurricane Ike’s remnants came through, I was without electricity for a week. Less than six months later, we had an ice storm. Between the two, it was estimated that 90-95% of Louisville lost power at one...

Still without power.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84702) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Oct 22

Still without power. Should have it back today, hopefully. I've secured a room for the next two days just in case. But, I will take what I can get. We've stayed in this hotel before. And, I'm thankful to have power and Wi-fi. I...
