Yep, last night we were watching a movie, and shortly before the end, the power went out! It was an annoying surprise. We thought the wind storm had pretty much died down by then, but you never know.
We have LOTS of flashlights, but discovered that we had moved the flashlight from the living room the last time the power went out, so Craig had to pick his way to the kitchen. We turned off the TV and few lights that had been on and came upstairs, where we have more flashlights, and were able to get ready for bed, throw on an extra cover, crawl in and read by flashlight for a little while. Fortunately, the power (and heat) came back on in the middle of the night
Today we've got to remember to take a couple of flashlights back downstairs and put them where they belong.
Moral of the story -- make sure you have your emergency supplies (flashlights and batteries, radio, water, extra blankets, etc.) and KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
