Lost power here in the morning, and then again in the evening when round 2 hit. It was out for almost 12 hours, came back on this morning. In a place where everything is electric (water heater, stove, air conditioning, etc) losing electricity knocks you back quite a ways. Canned veggies, fruit, and bread by candlelight last night.

If it had not come back today, things in the refrigerator would have spoiled, I think.

Makes you think about how life would change if the power was lost for a week, two weeks, a month, or a year due to a variety of scenarios.
