Power Outage?

I was itching to go blogging last night, after my weekly dose of RAN Online, when the monitor went black, followed by a muted sound of explosion from somewhere far, outside the shop. And the lights went off and back on again But, strangely, both the emergency lights turned on - these lights only go out in the absence of electric power! Then I noticed, the lights were low and pale. There must have been power fluctuation. Some online game users had to wait for the power to go back to its normal phase. But to everyone's disappointment, we never had the regular power back. I decided to call it a night last night and closed shop! Up to this point, I have no idea what came up last night. Was it a power outage? A transformer at a nearby provision got busted? Was there a bomb explosion? Oh please no! *Knock on the wood!*
