Lights on! Dismissal reversed! No way!
November 22, 2016
On November 18, 2016, at around 11:10 am, a lightning bolt struck the school’s backup generator and created a blackout that lasted for about an hour. Due to the blackout, students used their phones in order to see where they were going in the dim hallways. After a full period with no power, the school decided to send everyone home. Once the decision was announced — at 12:23 — all the light and power returned. Fearing that the decision would be reversed, the students rushed out of the school the minute the bell struck at 12:25. (They didn’t know that the problem was that the water pumps were malfunctioning and school was released for sanitation issues.)

This article explains how everything occurred during the day of the lockout . Also it states how students react to this situation and how great was to have an earlier dismissal.

It may be short, but this is no way near a bad thing. The article goes straight to the point on thr details of what happened that day. Very informative.

The article was accurate and well written because the events were true. Also the article told us about the details on how the students did have a fear of going back to class after the announcement of canceling school.

To me I was in shock and I wonder why but once the blackout occurred I didn’t know where I was going until I made it to my next class but we got to get home early so I was in shock but excited
