Then there was the time I was on a tour in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky and a storm on the surface knocked the power out. We had lights one minute and no lights the next. Back on the farm, we would have said it was darker than the inside of a cow. There were two guides with our group and they had us immediately sit down where we were. One guide stayed with us and the other went down the trail to where they knew there was a "safety box." She came back in about twenty minutes with two Coleman lanterns, both of which needed new mantels (which the guides carried in their pockets along with safety matches). I have been in paper mills where the lights suddenly went out. It is not as dark as the inside of a cow but definitely more dangerous than being in Mammoth Cave with knowledgeable guides.
