What Turned The Lights Off

So why did the power go out yesterday during school? it was because a excavating truck backed into a pole on Highway 7 which knocked out power to 4,300 people in the downtown area. Not only did this knock out the power it slowed traffic on highway 7 for an hour. The pole was snapped in three pieces and so power had to be rerouted. Within half an hour 60% of the people afected had their lights on. and after about 1 hour 85% of the lights were on to those who were affected. For the rest of the people afected their lights were not on until 2pm. So there is you answer for why our lights were off for most of period 3.

I miss the days when the lights would go out and kids would immediatly run into the halls and scream for no reason. That is why I turned the lights out.

I was hoping that the lights would have stayed off so we could have gone home. Also when people go into the halls and start to scream...Histarical.
