[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=6) I'll over amp you.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=11) All right, everyone. Get out your remembrance candles.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=19) Granny Lisa, why do we light a candle every Thanksgiving?

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=23) In remembrance of the great blackout that almost destroyed our town, when we actually had to write things down by hand.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=33) It started on a cold November day, back when you could actually see snow outside of a museum.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=42) 11? This isn't supposed to happen. Goodbye autumn, hello November.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=48) A powerful winter storm is headed our way.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=51) Maybe it's the calm before the storm. What's the storm?

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=54) Could be the calm, the calm before the storm.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=59) What storm, Mr. President? You'll find out.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=62) I refuse to be scared unless there's some terrifying new term for it.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=66) It's an arctic blast with a bomb cyclone and a chance of firenado, or as we in the news business call it, an arcticoneado. Ah!

[1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=75) None of us call it that, Plant. Pipe down, Arnie, I'm selling hoodies.

[1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=82) Storm's a coming. Light switch.

[1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=90) Huh? Why do people keep doing that? Blackout dates.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=94) The blackout. The great blackout.

[1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=99) We had no power and no prospects of getting any.

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=107) What is it? What is it? We'll never know.

[1:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=110) Don't worry, kids, the government will help.

[1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=112) The government cannot help itself, let alone you.

[1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/R0YGT7LfByfW/en/thanksgiving-blackout-granny-lisa-recalls-the-winter-storm?t=116) So to take your minds off your troubles, I propose some kind of games, either hunger or squid.
