After the power went out

Wind knocks out power
Fifteen minutes in the dark
The cats are upset

Last night the wind blew so hard that it knocked the power out in my neighborhood. It felt like the power was out for fifteen or twenty minutes, but time always seems to go slower in the dark. I think it has to do with listening to the wind blowing the limbs of stone pine and olive trees. The power came back on.

I need to buy batteries for the flashlight and the clock. I have an electric clock with battery back-up, but I didn't put the batteries in when I plugged in the clock.
