I remember that day well.  I had to rough it and use dial up internet
access.  ;-)

On that day, I left work around 4, got some gas & car wash and was just
a few blocks from the gas station, when the radio station I was
listening to went silent.  I then noticed the traffic lights were out
and other radio stations were also gone.  I then arrived home just in
time to hear my UPS die.
