I got caught in it yesterday around 4:30pm. I was walking to a mall and I noticed the traffic lights out, one more block down the road, the mall was shut down. Two mothers with there kids were stuck in an elevator 30 minutes after the power went out ... the mechanics had just got there to start getting them out of there when I passed by. The elevator had glass all around it, but I'm claustrophobic and would have been freaking out.
The traffic was crazy so we ended up hitting a bar (while the beers were still cold) to kill an hour before trying to drive in the streets. By night time (still no power) the streets in my neighbourhood were eiery(sp?) quite and so calm and with the moon out looked pretty cool. The only disturbance here was an hour after the initial blackout, there was a robbery at a diamond store and the robber shot his gun into the air. He was caught by some pedestrians as he tried to run by.
And for this morning, everythings back running in my neck of the woods.
