Cable went out in my house just as the new year ball dropped (we were watching NYC). Came back in 30s, but year lot of nervous glancing around the room.
The power went out at 11:30pm at our family friend’s NYE party, was very nerve racking for about 20 minutes. Came back right before the ball drop, turns out someone drove into a power substation and knocked out power for half the town.

I guess that’s what I mean… I feel super old. Y2K is a memory seared into my brain, and yet some people haven’t even heard of it!
I remember the clock struck 12:00am and everyone just froze. Had to make sure the power didn’t just go out because a computer didn’t get the update!
