The worst power out was on Thursday, August 14, 2003. Toronto was just coming out of the SARS outbreak. All of Toronto had no power.I had no cooked food and no candles in the apartment. Aslo, I had no idea, how long it was going to last. I went to the nearby store and lucky me, got some candles and some bread.Also the cash machines were not working there. We listened to the small battery powered radio. Torontonians were got so lucky to have it in the summer though. It was just hot.
So many people bought T-shirts with slogan" I survived SARS and Blackout "So many people had to walk long distance to reach home. Even coffee shops were closed.

Answered Question
Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.
When is the worst time you ever had an electricity power cut? Any funny stories or irritations it caused?
Here in the UK I avidly watched the Wimbledon Tennis Championships for most of the 2 weeks.
I loved watching the final, which as you may know went to 16-14 in the fifth set with Roger Federer beating Andy Roddick.
I'd sat there over 4 hours when my electricity went off at 12-12 in the fifth set, can anybody beat that for an innopportune time for a power cut?
Power was restored 2 hours after the final finished!

Yikes and I thought being out for 2 1/2 hours and missing the end of the Wimbledon final was bad.
