Anybody heard about how the Earth nearly got in the way of a solar storm back in 2012? Pretty scary to hear that it only missed us by a week. Had it happened a week earlier all kinds of technology would have been ed and we'd be living in anarchy.

Epic Z, the way you were with your phone, I felt the same wat with my phone, laptop, and camera. When the Blackout of 2003 happened, I just listened to the radio to keep my mind busy. I try to find things to do when I lose power as well as my internet connection.

Yea it's pretty crazy to think our whole electrical grid could have been wiped out by forces we have absolutely no control over. Kinda scary.

I live in North Alabama. Tornadoes have caused me to lose power for a week or so multiple times. A F4 tornado hit my town in 2010 and we lost power for almost 2 weeks.
It sucked, but I didn't have a phone or internet at that point so we watched DVD's on our portable DVD player in the back of our Blazer. And just played outside like kids used to do.

Depends what time of the day it is. If it's during the day then I might go somewhere, take my dog for a walk, or play my 3DS. If it's after 7PM then I usually just call it a day and get some rest.

I'd probably pick up my acoustic guitar and jam a little something. This.

I pray the power comes back quickly.
I call the power company.
And then I get ROYAL P.O.ed when as I call the power company the hold music breaks to let me know I can also report power outages online. I mean imagine if a person didnt have a smart phone, how can you report a power outage online if you have no power to turn your pc on?

I angrily call LIPA, who have a lawful monopoly over power on Long Island. Then I go through the 5 stages of grief. I was lucky that during hurricane Sandy I didn't lose my power while the people 10 min away from me lost it for a week. When I lost power due to Sandy, I knew it was going to happen about an hour prior. After I saw what happened to Far Rockaway and the Rockaway Peninsula, I was in holy **** mode. I won't ever forget riding the shuttle buses from Howard Beach to Far Rockaway. When I lost power due to the Northeast Blackout of 2003, I just went on with my business. I listened to 110 WINS, took short walks, cook, eat, and just killed time till power was restored. When I lost power due to Hurricane Sandy, I just used my laptop, copyrighted my photos, listened to music, and just deal with the fact I lost power. During that time, I saw a bunch of intellectually- disabled hipsters learning how to use a payphone. I eventually stood at my uncle's house for three nights. When power was restored to my area, I began to place things back in my room. A few days after both incidents, I acted like nothing happened. What he said but I did different things.
