I was working on the computer when the power went out.
lt was around four o'clock in the afternoon.
l went into the kitchen and started preparing dinner, and l waited for the lights to come on again.
But they didn't! lt was getting dark and l realized l didn't have any candles or a flashlight.
So l rushed to the supermarket and bought a few candles, matches, and some batteries for my radio.
lt was the first time l realized l didn't have on emergency plan for a situation like this, and it made me understand how important is.
