Yep, some strange stuff can happen at times like that.
Power phase hits another phase, power hits phone circuits, falling branch or tree rip cables out of terminal boxes etc.
Had a problem a few years ago & Telstra sent a bloke out to fit a heavy duty Earth wire from the connection box on the fascia to an Earth Stake, probably via a Resistor. Can't recall the problem.
Rural properties with open spans seem to cop this stuff a lot more than underground sytems but whatever it was they had encountered it previously & knew what action to take.
Even then, a Lightning strike to the ground can bugger up underground services within an area of some square kilometers, I was told.
Water leakage into pits also exacerbates the problem. Shouldn't but does.
I dips me lid to the power blokes in their cherry pickers swinging around in the wind & rain at the height of a storm while trying to get power restored. Usually adjacent to live stuff.
Not a job I'd choose.

On stand alone solar power, so nothing to do with power lines. Phone line is completely underground except for junctions every so often which are raised on steel pickets with a closed bit of pipe dropped over the top. Cable serves only this service, new 9km direct buried from exchange in 1994.

Been on the news tonight.Originally Posted by Eevo
23 HV towers down because of the storm, wind farm's sensitivity set too low for anomaly then sorted out to 19 anomalies in 2 mins very soon after.
Maybe there's a case here, but for what? Problem has been sorted long ago.and no probs in similar storms since.
Personally I think it would be better to sue God, whoever she is, for getting cranky over nothing and creating the storms that did the damage.

It will be about recouping the massive costs to fix it all.

Wot yer mean"nothing" 350? She is probably waiting on some decent images & details of the new Deafener like a lot of others here.Personally I think it would be better to sue God, whoever she is, for getting cranky over nothing and creating the storms that did the damage.
Is that not enough to have a hissy fit?
