What to do in a power outage?

Post by powerfulkingt » 08 Sep 2011, 17:56

Fulk here. Today right when I come from school, the powers out in the whole San Diego city, right down to the border. So, any have ideas for when it's still out? Thanks.

Or Do both things at once... Dance Dance Solitaire Revolution The Card Game.

Read some good books.

Do you know how long the power will be out?

Read a book or three. I'm sure the local library would appreciate your patronage.

Well, there's always the "cause a baby boom 9 months from today" option.

But honestly, when out power was out, we got out the generator. It's always good to have a generator.

(Um... get out the nerf guns, I guess? That's what I did until our generator was working last time)

Nerf guns? Nah, go airsoft.

OT: I just found out the power outage goes from Mission Viejo down to the border. I'm lucky, I live in Aliso Viejo and we still have power here.

iphone and other electronic devices will eventually run out of power, unless you do have a generator for things like this. Personally, I would read, I have stacks of books, however, all of my current books are on my ipad, which wouldn't last more than about 10 hours on a full charge.

If this happened to me, I'd be one of those people buying a generator, or charging my i-devices in my truck.

I feel bad for the people who make packs of cards and candles... I guess no one will buy them ._.
