Thank God for my handy blue-light LED flashlight. It was really really dark when all the lights went out after a lightning strike somewhere in the area. We were in the dark for over an hour. It was getting toasty in the apartment but the time the power came back on. ick. Can’t imagine what the folks who’ve gone days or weeks without must feel like (& i hope I never have to). jbb
but wait … aren’t you used to blackouts in CA? or, rolling ones?
i like you in blue, violet beauregarde!
Rolling blackouts in CA? Not in years… and I lived by the beach so I wasn’t likely to melt due to lack of AC for any length of time (also, didn’t even have AC at home…). jbb
