Wind Storm and Power Outage

The weather warmed up after the cold spell before  Christmas.  The rain returned with the wind.  We had power outage.  

"I am sorry to hear that."

"What?  You did not have the power.  Oh my god."

"Well, I am glad you are back to normal now.  Ta, ta."

That day the power went out at 2:00pm.  Usually it comes back in a few hours around here.

But this time it was different. We used a head light during the night and next morning we got up around 6:00 am.   Still it was out.  We walked to a nearby supermarket (15 min walk one way) to pick up some food and for a warm coffee.  The power finally came back around 11:00am, making it about 21 hours of power outage.   Now we have to appreciate electricity more than ever before.
