We’re dealing with some stormy weather here (Vancouver for me, but it covers a wider area) and so a patchwork of homes across the region are having power outages. Crews are working to restore it

So on that note, what do you like to do?

  • ways to prepare, what to buy, a favourite flashlight from !flashlight@lemmy.world?
  • how you pass the time
  • any stories that come to mind?

    Last outage we had, one of the first things I did was take a hot shower. Our water heater is electric and if it became extended I might not get another chance.

      We lost power for 3 days back in 2006. The water heater still had hot water in it when power was restored. It wasn’t piping hot that last day, but was still good enough for a shower. I was quite impressed.
