Five Earth Hours

I have already celebrated Earth Hour and will not be participating tomorrow night from 8.30pm - 9.30pm. LOL

Yesterday, in one of the freak thunderstorms that we are experiencing on a daily basis, lightning struck one of the main power supply cables, shutting off electricity to my neighbourhood.

At first, I was afraid that it was an internal electrical issue but it turned out that half the houses in my area were affected as well. It took Tenage Nasional five hours to restore electricity, which they had to disconnect everyone's supply of electricity, including street lamps, before being able to restore for the entire neighbourhood.

See, with five hours without electricity, I don't see why tomorrow I have to shut of electricity again for an hour, after all, the time is 8.30pm local time, not as if the whole world will shut off lights at the same time, which I think will make an even bigger impact.

Anyway, things will be as usual for me tomorrow night. Hehe What about you? Will you celebrate Earth Hour and for how long?
