Our power has been out for the last 8.5 hours. I really hope it comes back on. It was very hot today.

Sorry to hear that. We’re you affected by the earthquakes?
No. But my oldest stepdaughter is there and we have to get a hold of her to see if she’s ok. We’ve not gotten a hold of her yet.

Geezer that’s crappy. I hope it comes on soon. Not only are you hot but you might have to throw food in the fridge away.

That’s what happened last summer. We were out of power for 4 days.

Thanks @Happy_H!!!
Yeah, that’s the worst kind of outage.
Have you called anyone for help or an explanation or an estimate of when it will return? Do you know if it is just your house or is your neighbors power out too or maybe even the whole block?
If I were you I would make some kind of plan right now for the night just in case the power is out all night. You don’t want to fumble around in a pitch black house looking for food or toilet paper or blankets etc. While there is still light figure out what you need for the night in terms of food, clothing, bedding, etc. If you have a flashlight test it now and see if it’s in working order. My family sometimes in similar situations used candles for light. But you would have to be very careful with those.

It was already dark when we got home. We have candles and flashlights so we’re good. Thanks for the tips though!
