power cut duncraig
Does anyone else have power failure just now in their home or is it just me?
Thankgod I have a laptop at least I can still get online.
Think it may have something to do with roadworks

Streetlights and traffic lights all out along Main St in Balcatta.
I drove past this today and saw a pole snapped in half obviously causing the power short.
A primitive problem eh?

power cuts down to pole top fires, dust gathering on power lines, rain falls = fire = power cuts... bit like the leaves falling on rail lines in the UK, total chaos..

Oh, yeah, wanted to mention for a while:
You know how we were once talking about underground power. Well, they ARE putting that in. I don't know where and how fast exactly, but I saw on the Gosnells council website some area's were getting it.
