Lights, power, um, hurricane lanterns?
Fortunately I'd finished washing dishes.
There's always an initial period of excitement and amusement about a power outage, but when it becomes apparent that it ain't comin' back anytime soon, crankiness begins to exhibit.
We were out from 6:45pm to about 1:30am.
Hawaii Public Radio tells me that the Fire Department had to rescue 42 people stranded in elevators. That would probably be my worst nightmare; stuck in an enclosed box between floors of a high rise building.

I would freak out. Literally. I hate elevators anyway and to be stuck in one for hours...OMG.
