Saw this headline elsewhere had to share, but watching the video of Cooper trying to get through reporting the story is fantastic. See the printed story too, the follow up responses are hilarious.
The Duke Energy recording said it was due to damaged inflicted on the equipment, but that could have been the PC answer.

This is only the 2nd time we have lost power in nearly 4 years; the first was due to a thunderstorm.
We checked the emergency lighting, manually opened one of the garage doors, hung out in the parking lot, and then like dutiful sheep went inside when the power returned.

These political commercials crack me up. This latest one depicts a waitress just out of college griping about not being able to get a job in her chosen career, school loan debt. Wasn't this part of the Occupy Wall Street movement that was ridiculed by the conservative groups?

I'm fine, thanks for your concern.
Why were you hanging out in the parking lot while the lights were out?
