['My power went out over three or four times today.  I lost count.', 'Oh wow. Is it raining or something over there?', "No they are doing work in the neighborhood.  Im glad I had my old hurricane supplies, batteries, etc.  I couldn't see anything."]
How long is the work gonna take? I hope you don't get any weird power outages.
My power went out three times today.  Good thing I had batteries.
