Lost power, lost all internet and mobile data and phone is out.
Power eta restoration is in 2 days.
Just posting this while I can and it still works.
This afternoon really wrecked the power grid in the SE and all traffic lights aren’t working.
But I’m safe and no trees or damage were incurred thank god.
Glad you're safe! Sorry you're having such a shit time mate.
Thanks. Just unlucky. I guess the network isn’t under any load at the moment and it’s suddenly working.
I’m going to have to charge up my power banks at work just incase this goes on for longer.
Thankfully I still have a gas stove so I can still cook basic stuff.
How’s it down your neck of the wood?
Sounds like a good plan!
Normally we get fucked on here but luckily we got by without any major damage.
Last time we lost power for a couple of days and it made me realise how much I rely on tech to keep me happy.
