When I was about 11 or 12 years old, my family woke up to find the electricity in our house off. My mom went to a neighbors and her electricity was off also. They both called the electricity company asking why the electricity was off when the bills were paid. The electricity company did not know why the electricity was turned off. They were told that they should call an electrician to see why the electricity was off. When the electricians arrived later that day and looked at the electrical box, they said there was a gas leak somewhere in the house and if the electricity had been ON the whole house and the entire block would have exploded.
Isn't it amazing how something that would seem an annoying circumstance could save lives?
