Phantom Electricity

Last night, our power went out during a thunderstorm. As soon as it came back on, the alarm clock/radio in the office/spare bedroom/baby room the radio came on. The radio was, however, switched into the "off'" position, as it was before losing power and when not projecting audio. No amount of switching "on" or "off" would stop the radio, so I just had to turn down the volume. Hmm.
