Fun is waking up to go to the bathroom 5 minutes before the power to a good portion of the city just dies. What's also fun is having to turn off some things because even though nothing is working there's still just enough voltage trickling through to bump motors, as I found out when my fan was making weird noises. Thank goodness my PC is on a battery backup that can filter that out.
Downside to this is because I have severe sleep apnea I can't just go back to sleep. No power means no CPAP
