We didn't have that, even in the Big One, 1973. We were inside Atlanta city limits then, stood at the window and watched flashes of light every few seconds, each flash a power outage. This one may be even bigger. We're snug for now, hoping we don't have enough big oak trees to cut our power, hoping everyone stays safe and warm.
