Seattle is known for its power outages. If it gets windy here, the power is most assuredly going to go out. I'm not sure why this is... if it's older lines, lines that aren't underground, high winds, cross winds, I don't know.
The other day the power was out for about 4 hours. I was walking Bella through the park by our house and saw the pole bent at 90 degrees. My first thought: I guess that explains the power outage. The power guy saw Bella and walked over to pet her and say hi. I then took the opportunity to ask when the power would be back on and his response was, "oh in a few hours." Perfect.
A few hours later the power is back on. It really doesn't matter a whole lot to us when it's off because our stove/oven is gas and so is our heat. So we just light some candles and talk or read and can still cook dinner just fine.
HOWEVER what is not fine is when we go to bed at 11pm and then at midnight we hear BRRP BRRP BRRP as loud as possible. W.T.F. We just went to bed? How the HELL is the alarm already going off?
Ooops.
We forgot to reset the clock to our normal wake up time and just hit the "set" button without considering the power outage and the fact that the alarm would be reset to midnight. Too bad we don't have a secret video system in our house. I bet it was hilarious to watch us both shoot up straight in bed with almost simultaneous heart attacks.
