What a nightmare!!! Soon after I shut the computer down, the cops/firemen showed up. Guess the neighbor called. We waited for an hour for the electric company to show up as we noticed that the main wire into our house was pulled out. They finally got here, and told us they couldn't help us, and that we had to get an electrician.

Anyway, to make a long story longer, several hours later, we finally have power again! And PETTALK! YAY!
