Okay, so yesterday I’m just getting ready to start putting today’s post together and whoomp, all the power went off in my apartment. I ventured outside and found out that most of the block where I live was experiencing a power outage.
I went to work, confident that the fine folks at Ameren would correct the aforementioned power outage and I could work on the post last night and this morning and post it around 11am.
Well, I came home and the whole block had their power back on, but as I turned into my apartment complex which houses the MBIP World Headquarters, the entire complex was dark. We were the lone building still crippled by this power outage. So, I lit some candles, drank a bunch of beer and happily when I got up this morning, the power was back!
However, I don’t have time to put the post together, so it’ll be up tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s some links of some other famous power outages.
