Well, on Thursday afternoon after the school's electricity went out, we soon found out (thank goodness for smartphones) that the blackout was county-wide. However, we had already planned on going to the beach afterschool, so my dad, two sisters, and I went over the hill to Santa Cruz street and into the ocean. After that, however, we didn't have enough gas (can't get gas with no electricity) to make it through the insane amount of traffic pouring out of Point Loma and OB. We also realized that we didn't have filtered water at home. To wait out the traffic, we visited an old teacher friend from Mt. Everest Academy since she lives over on Adascadero. That was actually really fun and when the traffic cleared up we headed on home.
I went to bed early, but ironically enough (this is how I heard it) after my sister had blown out all the candles in the house and was walking down the hall to her bedroom, all the lights came on. Pretty eerie, huh?
