Power Outage

Today there was a huge power outage in the area I live. It only lasted a little over an hour, but it made me realize just how dependent we are on electricity. It was in the evening, so it was quite dark without any lights on. Also, I was babysitting my siblings at the time, and I sure did miss being able to just let them watch TV while I did homework and such. Even the traffic lights were out, so the police were there trying to direct the traffic. I guess that you have to have something taken away from you before you realize just how important it is!
