It was a dark and stormy night. At some point there was a power cut. We got up this morning and our alarm clock had lost time and was flashing on and off like a marker buoy.
Pretty wild here too over in the west of the British Isles.
Regarding power cuts, after a stormy night many years ago when a mini-power cut knocked out the radio alarm clock and left it flashing in a confused and useless manner, I always make sure I have a backup travel alarm that is set to go off 5 minutes after the main alarm.
