Wow.
I walked home tonight, and saw a great huge fireworks display down near Central. (I was walking on 19th Ave at the time...) Then the streetlights went out, first on one side of the street, and then all the lights in my apartment complex....
They were out for maybe 30 seconds, long enough for me to resolve to buy a UPS, and then came back on with more emphatic spitzensparken out of a streetlamp.
Got home to find Votania freaking some. Just as we had the whole house back up and running -- another noise, loud, and the lights go out again. I find my palmtop and turn on the backlight to find my way to the flashlight and matches so we can light the generous assortment of candles around the house.
We put a few out on the porch to give illumination to those without, and just about then, back come the lights.
We turned them out again and kept the candles on.
