Sending this post via my cellphone, using the phone data (as opposed to WiFi-only with mobile data turned off, like I usually have it set at).

And that's as far as I got in this before the power at least started trying to come back on. Anyway, to continue...
...the power is out because of fallen trees. It went out about 30-45 minutes ago or so. I thought it was about to come back on just now, as it did flicker for a few seconds, but I guess not.
Their estimate was for 2:15am... it just flickered again... but maybe they'll have it back on by the time I finish this post.
By the way, typing this... power just flickered again... on a touchscreen keypad sucks rancid, rabid canine anus, I have to say.
Aaaaaaaaannnnnndddd... nope, the power is not yet back on fully as I finish this. Lame.
(EDIT) Actually, it came back on (hopefully) for good literally the exact millisecond I hit the "post" button on this. Go figure. (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2 @ 10:55pm) Back on my PC with a proper keyboard again, thank goodness. Typing and sending the above apparently used up 6.98MB of mobile data (along with whatever other shit my phone decided to do in the background while doing it, which was probably most of that 7MB). Given that I currently have 1.88GB available via TracFone, and given that the only times I will ever use it is during scenarios like this, I'm not gonna sweat 7MB all that much at all. *nods sagely* (/EDIT 2)
