Power was out for quite a while last night. The nice thing about a laptop is that the LCD illuminates the room enough to find the flashlights and lanterns.
That is George sleeping on the ottoman. The light is coming from a kerosene lamp; you can see the glass bulb containing the red-dyed fuel underneath the glow from the lamp. Even at ASA 1600, that was a half-second exposure.
I read for awhile and then went to bed. Power came on after I went to bed. My mistake was not remembering to switch off the lights.
And yes, the two-wire POTS worked the entire time. Rotary dial and all.

Call me a Luddite, but that is why I haven't gone Internet or cell for my phone service. When callers try to get me to switch I ask them if a UPS comes with it.
Goodness. I would have made that same mistake with the lights.
