No Electric For Anna *UPDATE: My Pioneer Woman Tale by Anna_66 (post #27)

I hope Anna has her power back by now. I lost mine at 3:00 AM. I couldn't sleep (so what else is new) and just finished watching a movie when the power went out. (At least I got to see the entire movie.) It flickered twice, then went out for good. I thought "Now do I call and report it or because we've had this ice storm, will they already be aware of it?" I fumbled around to find my flashlight, called and reported it because I figured that most people wouldn't know the power was out since it was 3:00 AM and they'd only know when their alarm clocks didn't go off and they were late for work. But after approx. 15 min., it came back on, which is unusual. My little town is usually the first to lose power and the last to have it restored. I have a fireplace but the thought of lighting a fire at 3:00 AM did not appeal to me.

Sorry to hear no power for Anna. I'd be having withdrawal myself.
Hope you get power back soon.It's no fun at all.

We'll be thinking of her! We lost power for a few minutes last night but get this - it was a planned event, AND we were forewarned by mail more than a week ago! The power company was planning some maintenance, and let us know. I thought that was great.

Stay warm, Anna! I can't imagine being in that kind of weather. Hope you're back soon. Cuddle up with those dogs.

I got a call from Anna a little after 8. Her electric is on now. Yippee!

That's great Anna got her power back! Many people lost their power here due to the ice, we were fortunate and our lights only flickered a few times. I was sent home at lunchtime. They closed the plant down due to power shortage.

Phred has quite a power-outage story in his birfday thread! 30 hours, no power. But Smoke got to be the hot water bottle under the covers, and Cinder was the foot-warmer!

Glad you got lights and stuff again, Anna!
