    Blackouts?

    Anyone else been hit with a blackout anytime during this heatwave throughout the US? This is the 2nd night in a row the power has gone out, and it's too humid to be outside. My parents are thinking about going to a motel for the night.


    What do you do to keep yourself from boredom? Any ideas/suggestions would be nice.

    I live in the middle of nowhere, with a dual grid line connection. If one grid goes out, power is redirected through the other grid. I only lose power when all lines are down.

    The only occasions when my power goes out is in strong storms.

    Nope, no power outage here.

    As for your 2nd question, I usually browse forums or Youtube.

    See, but with the power off my router and modem also goes off. Thus no WiFi, unless you're using a phone.

    Well if the power goes out for a long ass time, I take a nap.
    I live in the middle of nowhere with no one around.

    My mom used to baby sit so all/most of the books in my house are children's books.

    It's too hot to even sleep.
