Hi guys? I was absent here last night there was sudden blackout at 6 in the evening. I was about to login here when light and Internet went of. I thought it would last some hours but so annoyed it lasted 11 hours. We were thankful at home for we had charged our rechargeable fans and we were able to sleep. The cause was faulty wiring and damaged post. The electricians did their work overnight. They're pitiful too, but it's their job. My feeling is now relieved. I drop by here before heading to work. See each other later. Keep safe everyone.

@RebeccasFarm, we're also hoping here not to experience successive blackouts. It's depressing.

@wolfgirl569, yes, and it was a long suffering. We always charge our rechargeable fans here to be ready in case there is a sudden blackout.

I have a inverter at home that gives a power back up when there's no electricity. We too have long power cuts sometimes.

@aninditasen, we also have led and power banks but it's still dim but better than none at all.
