All I got was my family that I was staying with during Sandy had no power for 4 days, but I was at work for 16 hours a day and my job had a generator (sixteen of them, actually) so not really.

Of those 16, the one controlling building facilities failed. We had no lights/hot water, so we all used the bathroom with flashlights and worked in a dark office lit by nothing but our computer monitors.
yeah, Sandy was the longest my power went out, but my house is down the road from a power plant that also services a hospital so it was only out for 14-16 hours

oh yeah that reminds me

In addition to those 16 generators, my company paid some 7 figure sum to the power company to get a direct underground power line put in from the closest electric substation so that power would never go out.

Power went out a few hours after the storm started lol good use of funds there.

I work for an ISP so it's extra super duper important we never go down during emergencies since we provide e911 service. It's so important we're actually technically classified as emergency response personnel with the state, which is honestly kind of a joke.

I'm really bored, working Sundays suck

Katrina was 2005

Sandy was 2012

But yeah the technology has progressed far enough and the equipment hardened to the point that as long as proper maintenance is done, as long as a tree doesn't fall on the lines and power stays up you probably won't have any service interruptions unless the last person to touch it was a dumbass.

oh derrr im still half asleep

yea in florida we had like a tropical storm, katrina, then a smaller hurricane, Dennis, Wilma, it was a crazy season honestly, was out of power for 2 weeks, a lot of areas had some flooding etc.

i used to browse some anime forums back then, i was young so i had to tell my friends i was getting a lot of interruptions and they'd have to wait for me. i recall my msn messenger getting dc'd a lot and they were very patient about it. Now I can probably play smite and just curse the small intermittent ping spike :3:

Here are a whole bunch of congratulations for all you guys, and for BYOB too. And for FluffieDuckie's advice of paying attention to your wife who is hopefully in labor and almost done, because giving birth is kind of boring and painful as far as the whole miracle of life thing is concerned.
