Yep, that picture is Atlanta. Looks like it rained quite a bit there. Right now I’m sitting in Macon, GA thinking “man, I’m sure glad I got out of Atlanta.” Well, the rain just started pouring hard here. The lights have flickered twice and I’m hoping we don’t lose power. There would be no MNF and no computer when the battery juice ran out. The last time power went out, we lit some candles and played Apples to Apples. So, do you- read a book, write, play cards, talk, play guitar…What do you do when the power goes out?

  • Wow , we had that happen here a few years ago ! Flooded all the sections that we under the over passes! What do I do when we lose power , well this year we have lost it twice once for about 4 hours! I was lucky enough to have my battery fully charged and was able to work on some posts ! Hope you have a great day ! Come visit me over at www.gardenofmany.com
  • We usually play games as a family or we go visit another family and play games (especially if it's cold because we don't have a wood stove:)
  • games are always good
  • There's only one thing to do when the power goes out ; )
  • haha. we wont go there now
  • Amen to that! ;)
  • Jimmyy
    I go to work when the lights are out...part of the job when you work for the Power Company...
  • so true
  • nu2htown

  • haha. there ya go
  • listen to my iPod
  • thats always a good thing to do
  • I find my last power bill, grab my cell phone and report it immediately. Then I light a candle, find the book light, and try to do some reading.

    you should see my neighborhood. and my school. its basically atlantis.

    i usually dont have much to do when the power goes out (and always flashlights, never candles. i dont like fire. bad experience...haha.) but we took a trip to the bahamas that my parents bought at an auction, which turned out to be the worst trip ever because our house lost power the whole time, (which also meant no running water..) so the first night it was out my sister, my brother and i put on our ipod speakers and danced to songs. it got pretty crazy. and it was a workout because there was also no AC.
  • haha. sonds kind of fun
  • Laura
    really, its the no internet that kills me.
    but if my power went out now, id be easily entertained by the people canoeing on the golf course.
  • haha. yes that would be awesome
  • blinkidy
    i love rain so i would just listen to the rain hit our roof
  • i love it too. just opened the windows
  • Abi
    Depends on the scenario. If I'm home by myself I find a flashlight and a book and sit it out. If I'm home with anyone else I find a flashlight, crack jokes and play card games (Nerts is awesome). If at church...sing. If at work...just get quiet and listen to the hilarious comments people make when the lights are out.
  • cool. what is nerts?
  • I usually run around finding candles, then by the time they are all lit the lights come on or if it's late enough just go to bed. Really dull response. LOL
  • haha. thats cool. sleep is good when all the lights are out. @jasminerachel seems to collect candles so its not too hard to find candles.
