If electricity goes out in US they call at power house. In Japan, they test the fuse. In India, they see the neighbors house ans say if theres have gone then its ok

You know in the USA we have some areas that don't have enough electricity and have to take their turns getting the electricity just like parts of India. It is in the summer when every one is using their AC.

There are also some areas with very unreliable electric.. I actually used to live on a street where the electric would go out at least once a week. And it's so funny because I would do the same thing.. I'd peek out the window and see if neighbors still had power. If their power was gone too then I knew it was just a regular power outage and it should be back on in the morning.
