Ice Storm

schmange the adventurer, we should all have GT-camp

that's good news, luckily you didn't experience our problem some years back when the electric came on... all the households had their devices still on and because of the huge sudden demand it caused a surge when the electric came on that it went dead again straight after

The first summer I lived here, there was a huge storm that went on all day long. The power was literally going on and off every few seconds whenever there was lightning.
It got so bad that we turned everything off cause it was too anoying having everything go on and off all the time
We found out later that a guy at the power company was sitting by the breaker switch all day long and manually flipping it back on every time it blew. We were like... you've gotta be kidding. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What kinda place did we just move to??
