Happens here often. It is caused by bloody great mountain ash trees falling and taking down power lines. The power companies are well versed with what to do, and don't rely on ideology to do their jobs. Power loss is usually isolated and is mostly restored in a matter of hours as a result of professionalism, and a reliable generation capacity.Quote:

Pickles.
Warm, dry and a little muggy here. The cat is out chasing insects.
Outside, 24 degrees at 58% humidity. No sign of rain.
Not that it won't come but at the moment the clouds aren't moving. Not even a hint of a breeze.
Earlier this evening i drove through some thunderstorms. A fair bit of lightning about. It was raining a gentle rain. If I had to use my wipers, it was on the intermittent setting. Not much squally storms though. Very little wind.
And Checking the Boat ramp Cam at Hastings there are people out fishing in their boats, with thunderstorms predicted Madness.
Stay safe guys. I looked at the radar this morning, you are copping it now. Fine and sunny up here, though, it will change quickly I suspect.

I sincerely mean it, Pickles. I've been thru cyclones, and major flooding, but I've never seen a weather system that will effect an entire State. And to top it all off , after 100 mm forecast for Friday and Saturday, a low in Bass strait is forecast to bring more rain, on saturated ground, on Sunday. And the high tide is at the critical hour Friday. The full Monty, so to speak. Prepare well.Quote:
