Light's flashing last night from a storm that started. My 5 year old grandson was in the shower and he was scared. I was running around quickly trying to find my lights and power bank to quickly charge up because who knows if the lights went out how long it will take for them to fix the power around here. Last time it went out, it was out for 3 days during a blizzard!. I didn't live here then, but my daughter did (this town) Luckily the lights did not go out last night!

Yes he did thanks, he was almost done with his shower when the light's started flickering. I am in Virginia and we have had a lot of rain here yesterday and today. Forecast says it will rain again on Thursday.

I'm glad the lights didn't go out there! I keep my power bank charged. That was the first thing I did when power came back up the other day. We have another week of storms starting this evening. You should be getting those in a few days.

My power bank is only strong enough for cell phones. Too bad you are having more storms. We did last night too.

I am confused what is Lod shedding and Home UPS? UPS here is a delivery company "United Parcel System"

@allknowing I see, type o's happen a lot! I guess it's like the home generators that we have in the USA.

@dfollin Sorry, That was a typo. It is load shedding and I have corrected it Home UPS is Uninterrupted power supply. We have installed this.

Storms can be scary. It's good the lights didn't go out.
