What do you do when the electricity goes out?

I try to find the flash light and it's usually back on by the time I find it, then I go around the house setting all the clocks again. It usually fails for a minute or so during big thunder storms, I don't know why they don't bury the power cables?

The longest our power was ever out was during the blackout in 2003. Since we lived on the same block as the hospital we had power back before night fall. A lot of people were spending their time in their cars with the airco on, listening to music.

We had our evening of board games planned, and then the tv came back on, followed by the internet, back to Everquest.
