Power went out mid-call at a Starbucks in Portland

Working from a Starbucks on 3rd Ave last Thursday. Laptop was at 30% battery. Power went out for the whole block right in the middle of a client demo. Had to scramble to my car, hotspot my phone, and finish the call on my iPad with 15% battery left. Has anyone else had a sudden power cut screw up an important meeting? How did you handle it?

Power outage timing always feels personal somehow.

Ngl that sounds like a nightmare. Had something similar happen during a Zoom pitch last month and I just sat there staring at my dark laptop screen like an idiot.
