So on Saturday August 29th at about 10am my power in my house flickered, making my computer reboot. This occurred twice before actually having the power completely turned off. It turns out we had the worst storm (where I live) since about 2006 and it wasn't just my city that was affected. The power was knocked out in all the cities around us and all the stores, street lights and even the airports were closed. Statistically there were about half a million homes affected by the power outage.

I personally experienced the most boring 38 hours of my life...
Once my phone, laptop and 3ds died, I felt I wouldn't make it
It wasn't until just now (August 30th 8pm) when the power has finally come back on.
There were many times where I would think "...hmm since I can't go on the computer maybe I should watch tv..." before realizing how much of an idiot I was for thinking that.

Its amazing how much we rely on electricity, even one day without it drove me insane.

Yep, it was extremely windy. Lots of trees hitting houses and knocking down powerlines everywhere. When my brother and I went out to get some food in his jeep we drove over a fallen tree lol

damn so that storm reached out that far. here in idaho we were getting some crazy ass lightning and hail that was a little smaller that golfballs. we all thought there was a some kinda shit going down in tornado alley. but guess it was in the other direction. and we had trees falling down power was blown to hell all over town. it was so bad that a few fast food joints closed. and sold all their food that they had cooking for half off.(hell yeah 10 taco bell burritos for 3 dollars) luckily we had solar and gas emergency generators that kept our freezer/ fridge on and a few outlets so that we charge our phones. and the best part is i didn't have to go too work because the factory got stuck by lightning.
