A definitive list of the funniest tweets from IU's power outage

A sign posted to a door reads "we are also without power, check IU social media for updates" Nov. 8 at Woodburn Hall. Multiple buildings on campus were affected by a Duke Energy substation failure.

More than 50 buildings lost power Friday as a power outage hit campus.

As IDS staff monitored tweets for our coverage of the outage, we couldn’t help but come across funny tweets from IU students.

Here's a list of our favorites.

1. A shout out to the power outage for canceling the dreaded Friday class.

2. Was the power outage just an IU Bicentennial publicity stunt? (No, it was not)

3. Reporting can be quite difficult without power.

4. Even if class wasn't cancelled, how were we supposed to get there?

5. But even with locked doors, the show must go on.

6. You can read with a flashlight.

7. I mean, it’s an honest question.

8. Even though there wasn't power, at least there was free food.
