Last evening after work I stopped at a department store to pick up some general household stuff, laundry supplies and such. It was just starting to rain when I got there. While I'm finding the things I needed I could hear the thunder starting. Then, boom and every light in the place is out. It's totally pitch black in there. But before I could put my hand into my pocket to get one of my lights out, the dang emergency lighting came on. Spoiled all my fun.

I was in a supermarket a few years ago when the power failed. They had backup power to keep the cash registers going (they're no fools) but the rest of the store was dark. I was able to nonchalantly whip out my Arc AAA and keep shopping while everyone else was either just standing there or heading for the checkout lines.
