My family and I are vacationing in Aspen, CO, and I woke up to quite a surprise this morning. Several surprises, actually!
Around 5:30am, there was a strange flickering noise, and then a big "BOOM!". I jumped quickly out of bed, and wasn't surprised when the lamp by my bed didn't work. I continued over to the wall to try the light switches, and none of them worked. Great... it was pitch black and there was no electricity.
