After Floyd hit North Carolina in '99, my mom and I sat in the car and ran the A/C to get some heat relief (gas was $1.69 a gallon, so it wasn't a big deal). We also broke curfew and drove around surveying the damage (yes, I know we shouldn't have). We played cards...and the power came back on at 7 pm, so we were powerless a whole 16 hours. Not too shabby.
