Bad storm heading this way. Power died 45 min ago. Should be dark soon.
Will stay online as long as UPS battery holds out.

BatteryCharger said:Come on now, don't be silly. If a power outage causes your death, you were going to die anyway. All life support equipment in 2006 has multiple power backups. If you're dumb enough to have a car accident just because a light wasn't working you shouldn't be driving. Power outages happen every day across the country, the only time bad things happen is when they are in conjunction with another disaster. (flood, hurricane, tornado, etc) It is a minor inconvenience at the worst.
Brighteyez said:I agree! While childhood fantasies and make-believe are one thing, real events such as a power outage can trigger inconvenience at massive level at a minimum and potentially loss of life at the other extreme from crime, traffic accidents, and life support equipment not operating.
If you want to play with flashlights, just shut the lights off and play, but wishing for power outages and natural disasters are not healthy thoughts.
