Well, I experienced a first tonight while driving home...the lights were completely OUT for a good section of a major street which leads up to my house, and I mean that literally. NO store was open, except for just ONE which probably had emergency power. And there's a few shopping centers down there too, so we're talking about dozens of store with no lights at all.
Add to that..NONE of the street lights were on, and even the traffic lights were completely out. They weren't even blinking red so you couldn't even tell where the intersections were. Only a select few at a few major intersections were actually working. I saw an accident on a freeway exit which looked pretty bad.
It was really creepy..almost like something out of a scary movie or a bad dream to see a relatively major city be completely dark like that..It actually took me a while to notice it because of the lights the cars produce, but then I started realizing people were going really slow and stopping for no reason. I was really relieved to find out that the lights were actually on starting at about two minutes away from home..

Usually it's just my house or something, but I've never seen the street lights go out, or drive through a neighborhood in total darkness..
