I suspect that you might be in a dual feed area. One of them is up, but if it could service you fully, well you wouldn't be getting supplemented by the one that's down then, wouldja.
I suspect the heatherton terminal got fuuuuucked
Hm ok, so I have power but sort of don't have power, that's a funny situation to be in.
So it's not safe to use much?
Have a read up on undervoltage. It's not ideal, no.
oh yikes! Hope my fridge is ok, it's still on.
Should be, i can see guys working on the poles outside the foodworks now, fingers crossed it's coming back on....
Sounds more like that might get your power back up as opposed to solving my problem.
The outage map that covers my area doesn’t so as far as the food works.
Nope. Chesty south lights back on, still no mains for me :(
Well bugger! Not helping either of us.
Hoping they get to you soon!
Where we are is like riiight at the final line where residential turns into the old industrial-now-commercial area. Was hoping this would mean thumbs out of arses quicker. Appears not to be the case.
Also around your area you have 3 areas with wires down and 2 areas with trees in contact with powerlines. :(
We're baack! Nbn is still farked though.
My nbn wasn’t working but I’ve gotten home and I don’t have stable power so I guess no power for me tonight again :(
Congrats on getting power back!
At least this time I have phone data and phone calls active
They reckon another 6k to be stabilised tonight, and also seeing a lot of SEC trucks so hopefully back up for ya soon
Hopefully soon.
I was able to check in with my other neighbour and she has the same problem as me but as of a moment ago power has been totally cut out again for us.
Hopefully that means they’re working on it.
Mostly the other side of south, i'm on the morris moor side.
