We just had a complete and total blackout.
Power in India is iffy at best but the temperatures have been in the low - mid-90's for the past few days so you know everyone has their ACs cranking. Some houses have 4 or 5 units, we have 3 but so far have used them only to cool off the bedrooms before bed.
The power went off so we checked our circuit breaker. Everything was fine so Jennifer opened the front door and the neighborhood was dark. The kids and I grabbed a flashlight and went to the end of our block to get a bigger picture and it was all pitch black except for the occasional headlight and our own flashlight.
We walked home, Jennifer had lit a few candles, and a few minutes later the power was back on.
Pretty cool but as the temps go up I can see this becoming a common occurrence.
