knocked the entire city except the blocks nearest the hospital compound off the power grid for a day and a night, which was creepy when we had to drive downtown to find a source of food that was open (having naught in the house that could be eaten uncooked) and the entire north side business district in which we live was completely dark and empty; postapocalyptic.
nothing lost or damaged belonging to us
my engineer is back online <3
played trivial pursuit by the light of a Pancho Villa prayer candle and a single LED flashlight which were basically all we had in the house
it was boring
did see a really awesome black beetle, like, three inches long, chillaxing on the side of the house in the dark though. checked him out with the flashlight he was neat
