The WHOLE West side of our town (where I live) had a huge blackout! Apparently a transformer started a fire over by the hospital. We were in school and the power went out at around 10:10am (Central) and we were instructed to stay there until further notice... We left school at 11:05 and classes will resume at noon. The power went back on at approx. 11:30.
I was scared just because of the fact that I couldn't get ahold of anyone, no phone, no food, no lights at my house. Eek!
