Certainly an unusual event!
Just before heading out to the Central States Club event at the Canal Street Rec Center, I noticed a very, very small aberration in the lights in my kitchen. Then, when I arrived at the Odell Circle / Canal Street intersection, where the lights were out, I wondered what was happening?
At Canal Street, our entertainment was setting up, but the only lights were the emergency ones. After a little while, we moved out to the picnic pavillions hoping to have our party, no matter what!
Before too long, we went back into the Center, with everything reading that all was safe.
Bottom line: we had a very enjoyable evening, many of us wondering about but not being too concerned about the small aberration!
During more than six and a half years here, this event seems to be the longest "blackout yet!"

I wondered Steve because so many emergency vehicles headed down Morse close to the same time the power went out. Two fire engines, an ambulance, then a Sheriff's car heading back going about the speed of light (well not really, but lights on and siren screaming), went down Morse behind my house. I was afraid that someone had been hurt.
In the 5 years we've been here, this is indeed the longest outage we've experienced, too. Oh the power has been out for a few minutes a couple of times, but it was always back quickly.
Glad you had your party...
