There really isn't that much to tell.
I was at work and around 1 pm, the lights dimmed and then came back on.
There was a ruckus as everyone wondered what happened, but since we have automatic generators at work, the power interruption wasn't even long enough to shut our computers down.

Then some folks were saying that they'd heard that the the power was off all over Miami-Dade County.

I googled the news and read that there was indeed a massive power failure in South Florida, so I called my father at home and he said that the lights had flickered but came right back on.

By the time I got out of work later that night, it was all over, so I never actually got to experience the blackout of '08.
