my power went out today, for like 45 minutes. but the weird thing is, when the power went out, the fire alarms started beeping, like they needed batteries.
i have a theory, that if a squirrel got between two transformers, and somehow created a circuit, it might create an electromagnetic pulse, which would make the battery powered smoke alarms beep.

discuss.

They were beeping to tell you there was no power connected. So you would check out what was wrong

If it created an emp, the would stop working. And the buildup would need to be significant. The alarms going off is probly an emergency mode they switch too on sudden loss of normal power.

EMP = Dead electronics. go look it up.

well, your obvious Fancy rip-off with the "discuss." makes me think that this is a poor imitation of a Fancy story.

um.. lmao.

You think Fancy was the first person ever on the forums to say discuss at the end of his posts..?
Also I think you should get out of Fancys ass, not every story on this whole forum is a Fancy story/Rip off of a Fancy story..
