We lost power again.
It bumped and came back on, but nothing was really working except some lights. Has that happened to you before?
Well now the power is fully out.
Apparently my mom's is out too, so it's not local to our complex at least, but this is the most annoying thing.

Do you know what knocked out the power ? maybe someone
hit a power pole or the power comp is working on a power line.

I'm following what's going on with Facebook, no clue as to what caused it. I see different theories but that's all. Someone said they are working on it, but it's also raining

It seldom loses power in my neighborhood except when a major thunderstorm hits the area or a traffic accident happens.

Well that's good.
Apparently it's a brown out.
The whole city is in the dark, and sadly it's late and cold

I'm knocking on wood as I say this but we haven't had a power outages in ages. I hope that continues. Sorry you are experiencing them so much though.

That's good you haven't. Well we haven't had a major like this in years, besides the long one a month or so ago at the complex

We have had brief power interupptions like that. I think everybody does.

It definitely did, especially when the power was on at half power only
