Today we lost power at work (PG&E is still trying to figure out why).
As you walk the halls during a power outage, the most striking thing is the quiet. Nothing is making noise. Even late at night, when no one else is around, there's noise from the computer fans, the buzzing of monitors and lights, hard drives. But with no power, there's absolutely nothing.
It's very weird.
