I really hate it when it happens in the middle of the night and resets the alarm clock..... wake up, the clock says 12:00 and flashing, but you're pretty sure it's not supposed to be light out at 5am...sigh.

I rarely experience blackouts but had a rough time last fall. Last power outage I experienced was last fall when my area got up to a record breaking 115 degrees which created strain on the electrical grid due to A/C demands. 24 hours of no electricity, record breaking heat and loss of the contents of a well-stocked frig/freezer. What was even more aggravating is that not every building in my complex experienced that blackout! I wasn't even home so it wasn't MY A/C that contributed!
I've lived in areas, especially on the beaches, where power outages were common. I can truly say it is a real rarity here in Orlando.
