Early this morning, I woke up at 1:30 and noticed that there was no power going to my bedside clock.
I got up and checked and found that we had a power outage. I checked my phone for the Jamestown Facebook group page and saw that the outage was community-wide.
From what was posted, the outage started about an hour before.
I stayed up a bit and lit a couple of candles. So, for a while, the house was like the Old House in Dark Shadows. Barnabas Collins had no electricity installed at the Old House and he just relied on candles.
Since the heater relied on electricity and it was cold, I went back to bed and got up about 45 minutes ago. I managed to heat up some coffee on the stove (with matches) and poured a cup. About 15 minutes later, the power came back on.
From what the electric company told others in the community, the outage was due to downed lines and that a crew was headed out for the repairs.
