Hello everyone, hopefully you’re all ok. We have no power in Burwood, and our phone internet is dial up speed. Our ETA for power to be back on is also 1pm on Thursday. I reeeeeaally hope it doesn’t take that long, I’m not built for sponge baths.
Thursday, damn that’s rough! I saw on the news there was a fallen high voltage tower, that could be why it’s taking so long. Hopefully you can go to another suburb friend/family/workplace to charge devices and have a shower if needed?
Thankfully we got power back at 5am today! Had a hot bath tonight, which was awesome!
Same situation and suburb, but my mobile internet isn't slow it just only connects a few seconds at a time per minute
I hope this helps:âš¡
