I remember that one. We were out of power for just shy of 3 days, which was much better than most in the area. We had a fireplace and all hung out in the living room until bed time. Kids were very little, so all five of us (at the time) slept in one bed with lots of blankets. We had a gas water heater, so we took long, hot showers before bed . That was nice.
Friends and neighbors who could make it came over for hot showers and fellowship around the fireplace. Had a cookout one evening while people cycled through showers. That part was actually a lot of fun.
Still, the joy when our lights came on was indescribable.
