I'm sure you guys heard about that power outage. I live in Toronto, so our power was out. It was out on Thursday around four fifteen, and luckily, we got the power back on Friday morning.
It wasn't exactly fun, since I couldn't get on the computer, couldn't watch TV, and listen to the radio, and all that. At first we didn't even know what was going on without the radio. Then my sister called from downtown, and she had to walk home, like many others. She walked for 4 hours!:eek: We couldn't go out because of our garage door. It wouldn't open, and the traffic lights were out, and everything was just crazy.
So I spent most of the day reading.
Then, we had cold soup for dinner, lol, and then at night, we went out to look at the stars:) It was really fun, everything was dark, and all we could see were stars. The sky was full of stars. We saw the Big Dipper, and at least 3 shooting stars. A lot of people were outside, just walking around.
Yesterday, some people didn't even have their power back on yet, I don't know if they have it yet today. I hope we don't lose our power. It was really really hot yesterday, and we didn't want to put the A/C on yet. But we just couldn't stand it, and put it on for the night:o
Yesterday afternoon, we went out to buy food! It was crazy in there. FULL of people, and everyone bought a lot of food. When we were leaving, people had to line up to go in.
Then we went for gas. The line up was all the way down the street! Cars kept on coming every few seconds.
But at least we got our power back, and this morning, luckily I was able to get back on the Internet:D
