Today, the power in my village went out. This caused the back-up battery powered alarm to go off. Nobody in the house even knew our alarm worked, let alone how to make it stop. It's been going off for over an hour now. FML

One time that sort of happened to me, it went out for more than 20 minutes. So we were able to go home, but as everyone was leaving their classes, the power came back on.
