Storms Cause Electrical Headaches

I was a little worried when a thunderstorm blew through Lincoln so hard that some people lost power and the lights flickered in my room. I was working on an assignment that was procrastinated to the latest possible moment, so I could not stop working on it just because the power may kick out. So, I turned of my PCs and started working on my laptop downstairs, where the power is a little more guaranteed. Luckily, no issues arose. I heard that power went out in one section of the building during a brown-out (probably because of the increased electrical load of freshmen playing Oblivion).
