Writer's Block: Lights Out

All it takes is a blackout to realize how much we rely on electricity. What's your most memorable story from a power outage?

You mean besides the one from the Ice Storm last December? That left New England scrambling? We had power back within three days, but I must say I was quite humbled by the storm. I was even out in it, probably fifteen minutes before the power went out. It was beautiful, seeing ice on the trees with the lights all around them.

And then darkness, and cold. And some people waited two weeks for power to come back on in Fitchburg. They weren't happy with their power company at all.
