Melbpom Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Whole of South Australia without electricity until tomorrow morning according to news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaty Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 SOUTH Australia will be a state in darkness tonight after a monster storm caused blackouts across the entire state. The Advertiser reports that the blackout will last at least four to eight hours. SA Power Networks advised residents to “Please brace for extended outages and ensure you conserve mobile device battery” in a Tweeted message. Flooded parts of northern Victoria could see more stream rises with heavy rain forecast today and tomorrow. A severe weather warning is in place for large parts of the state, with a moderate flood warning also posted for the Loddon River. “Most of the west and central parts of the state will see rainfall and that will continue into Thursday,” Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Beren Bradshaw told AAP. A band of bad weather is moving across from South Australia and the rain will start to hit northern Victoria this afternoon.

NicF Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Whole of South Australia without electricity until tomorrow morning according to news. It wasn't that bad. Power went off at about 3:50pm and started coming back on in some areas by 6pm. Our suburb got power back at about 10:30pm and I know a few of my colleagues had power back by 7:00pm and others around 9:00pm. There are still some parts of the state without power, some due to the issue that caused the state wide outage and others due to issues caused by the continuing wild weather. I'm in Adelaide CBD and it's actually quite calm here at the moment. Went out for lunch and there was blue skies and sunshine. Not sure it's quite so nice in other parts of the state though.

VERYSTORMY Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 A friend in Adelaide has had severe damage to his house and has been told no power for 3-5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Whole of South Australia without electricity until tomorrow morning according to news. Nah, wasn't that bad :smile:Most of the metro area was back on about 7pm, other parts a bit later. Some regional areas are without power, 75,000 homes around the state as of this morning, though more got power back over today. We lost power here for a lot longer a few months back, for almost 18 hours. This time it was only 4 or so hours and was far less noticed. Given we had all the weather alerts we had time to prepare. The long outage we had of course wasn't state wide and was localised and some were off for longer than us. But it was a small number of homes overall.

JockinTas Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It seems to have headed this way. We've had wind and rain all day long. Power OK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 As someone else posted, just like a bit of English October weather really. At least it's stopped the locals saying "oh, but we need the rain"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Really pleased that Adelaide PIO'ers didn't get blown off the planet. Hope your properties didn't suffer, either as you good people wish us well while the cyclones are approaching. Cheers, Bobj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 For the I'm allright Jack folks saying it wasn't that bad, spare a thought for the 40,000 homeowners still without power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) The river opposite our house had a bit of a growth spurt overnight - but I think the locaal council probably wins a prize for "Sign Stating the Obvious"!

Diane Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) this is how the park usually looks this is how big the river usually is This is how big it is this morning - no idea why the picture won't upload the right way up - must be the weight of all that water tipping it up!

I don't think anyone was taking an I'm alright Jack attitude, simply responding to an alarmist post stating that all of SA would be without power overnight which simply wasn't true. You are right though that there are a large number of people that are not so lucky and will be without power for quite some time. There are also a number of unfortunate people that have been badly effected by the weather in other ways, including property damage from falling trees and flooding.
