Santa Cthulhu…. eating the souls of bad little boys and girls since 1,000,000 BCE.
I’m back from a 24-hour power (and heat, and water) outage due to an ice storm. Needless to say, I was distraught when the Internet connection didn’t come back with the lights. But it’s back now and I’m all right. I managed to get in-world for a few minutes before taking a shower (priorities! Okay, my wife got first dibs on the shower) and the twitching has nearly stopped.

24 hours isn’t bad…once when I was 11 an ice storm knocked out everything for 4 days. We nearly went mad. Now I live in San Diego where I say HAHHAAH to ice storms. But earthquakes and wildfires came with the the deal, so it’s always somethin.
That must have been Hell, Garth. I get hives when LL blocks logins for their semi-weekly meltdown procedure.
You had power out too?? Where are you?
Power was out here at my school in Maine for 29.5 hours- and they moved all residents to the campus center (which had electricity thanks to a generator) so they could shut heat off in the dorms. It sucked hardcore but they played movies to keep us entertained. No interwebs though and sleeping on a gym floor was not so much fun
SO happy to be back though!
Close… southern New Hampshire. We’re the lucky ones. Lots of people in our town still without power.
Yikes! Yes you are lucky
