I love it when the power goes out, esp at night. Weird, huh? It hardly ever happens here anymore. When it does, it’s because of some power grid failure somewhere up the line or perhaps trees down on the lines outside of our neighborhood. Hardly ever lasts longer than 30 minutes. Sbg, I would have loved the pure night sounds you experienced. Now if it lasted longer than a couple of hours, you know I’d be complaining extensively though. Some friends still live in NJ and they had storms a few of years ago that knocked out power for weeks. It was an adventure for them, but not in a good way.
Terriamn, that’s so sad about the trees. A real shame.
