Power Outage
How did you cope when the power went out? Were you organised? What did you do?
We're pretty well prepared for these things, got the candles and camp lantern out. The neighbors popped in to make sure we were OK, which was nice of them. The biggest problem we had was that we were in the middle of bidding on something on Trade Me when the power went out and bids were really slow going through because everybody else was using their mobile phones too.
I thought it was very funny because at the same time as the power cut mum slammed the door so we all thought it was her.Mum look on Facebook and saw that Cust had no power too.so we lit candles and mum let us take the tablet to bed. then the WiFi went out. so we gust played games on ti till it went flat.
I was sitting down watching TV and all of a sudden the power went out. My whole family was annoyed when the TV went off but luckily we were organised and had lots of candles light and had a few torches on. Then we played a board game until it was time to go to bed and then the power went on.
I was in the middle of watching tv when the power went of I was to be honest scared. Mum was looking for torch's when she was looking for them. 1 hour later Theo and I was getting ready to go to bed. When I woke up 2 seconds later the power went on I heard the tv.
We were at a friends house it is new so they were still unpacking. we took them back to our house lit candles and put torches on. all the kids made beds on the floor and the adults talked. we ate watermelon and made hot chocolates on the fire. we had a great time

We were at home watching TV when the phone started ringing then the power went out and then we ran out side and no lights were on so we new there was problem. we went and got heaps of candles and lit then for some light in the house. I wasn't scared but mum and dad had to go into oxford to help at the rugby rooms and the club.
I was sitting down watching tv with my step sister when all a sudden the power went out. My step sister ran into the garage were my dad was sitting.I walked into the garage.Dads girlfriend came home form work a hour later , then people came over.
I got home 11.00 from super v batman and when i got home it was brightly lit with the fireplace and candles everywhere and my mum and dad were in the spa drinking alcohol. so i got in the spa for a bit and by the time i got out it was midnight so i went to bed.
I thought it was quite exciting when the power went out. We found torches, lit candles and we turned on lots of our battery powered fairy lights.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of our fairy lights - will get those out next time. That would look quite cool then.

ReplyDeleteWhat nice neighbours! That is a great idea to check on neighbours, especially elderly who may live alone.
