F***ing Pacific Power. I swear they are the least reliable provider in the western hemisphere. I better unplug all my electronics before the inrush surge takes them all out.
In southern california, where I have Edison, it’s always I wonder what happened it’ll be back on soon. When I lived on the central coast and had PG&E, it was oh f*** it’ll be out for days again. It really was never out for days but it was a long time relatively speaking to sit in the dark
I’ve lost power at my house once in 15 years. The power never goes out there and it never really storms bad there either. The one time I did it was winter and cold. Stayed the first night, thinking it would be back on. Went to a movie the next day to keep warm that second night I found the last hotel around and power was back on the next day.
Usually? “Goddamn squirrels.”
@werehatrack
My dad’s neighborhood it’s always the squirrels. You can walk down the street and see them fried to generator or wires.
How hot or cold will it get before the HVAC starts working again?
How long this time?
Eat the ice cream!
@andyw only during the warmer months!
@andyw @mycya4me I’m not taking a chance of it melting even in the cold depths of January.
I just bought groceries!

Crap, I should have charged my devices!
Oh, Wait, I have power banks…

SInce living in Florida for a long time, full house generator kicks in automatically. Nothing to worry about.
Drink the beer before it gets warm!

It’s pretty reliable here, but my thought is: “I guess I should have replaced the battery in the UPS.”

The kids will come out of their rooms!
Damnit, the well pump went off too- now I can’t flush the toilet!
@OnionSoup Same. No electric juice means no hydrogen oxygen juice. Seems to happen when I need to get in the bathroom to shower etc.
Don’t anybody move!
