I'm pretty lucky. The only time I lost power for an extended period of time was the blackout of... '06, was it? I honestly forget, haha. But it was that time when the power went out along a lot of the east coast of the US & Canada. :[ We were amongst the first area in Toronto to get power back, though, and it was only out for 5 or 6 hours.
Now that I think about it, that's when I lost power for the longest time as well. We get a lot of random bursts of blizzards or t-storms now again in upstate New York, but the power is usually back on within 24 hours. That blackout though, yeesh. I was even on vacation at a nearby lake. Not funzorz...>_>

The longest I was out of power was during the Ice Storm of 1998. I think it was out for like two or three weeks. It happened just after the Christmas vacation, so the plus side was that it meant a month away from school in the middle of the year. XDD

The longest I've ever been without power was Hurricane Isabel back in 2003. We were out for about three days, and even then we were some of the first to get it back.

It sucked though...not being able to take a proper shower, do anything with electronics, and using flashlights to get around. And it was ridiculously hot because the AC went out, of course.

Well I lost power for about...1 whole day. Something really big, probably a massive piece of hail smashed the Antenna and we couldn't fix it. A day for me is a long time.

Well, I've actually gone without power for... 2 Days. Rain, Windstorm, and Thunder in the same 2 days, and in that precise order. Really horrible. :(

I remember back '06 there was a black out. I recall it 3 days long and it was booooooooring. Mind you there was nothing to do to. Well I was watching th enews like a month ago and I think that whole power outage was traced all the way to a tree touching a powerline in Ohio =/

Don't do it, most people hack because nubs think that all pokemon must be legit.

I went I think a week without power once because of a horrible storm. It was so weird because we had to go a whole week eating food off our old oil stove. I never noticed the importance of our microwave that much until it happened. We still had school though :(
