Re: Hope your not on the Train tonight
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 12:54 AMIt has been pretty wild around here...... I drove down Maroondah hwy this afternoon and it was littered with branches - I imagine that the trainlines would be pretty much the same, especially when you get to the Belgrave area. -

Fri, April 4, 2008 - 1:37 AMIn Box Hill - only one phase is working - so people on the others are without power..so you see blocks of flats half lit :)
Talking to a few folks - there are certainly still folk in E Doncaster and Scoresby without power...

Re: Hope your not on the Train tonight
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 4:22 PMI personally love it when crazy weather shit happens and we loose something we are so dependent on.
I love watching people get frustrated and mad at the 'energy suppliers' like its all their fault.. and its none of our own responsibility.
It wakes people up and makes us realise how dependent and vulnerable we are.
We've built this society that comes crashing down around us at the slightest bit of wind.
We totally need to re-think the way we live.

I did not mind it so much.
Wonderful to enjoy the luxury of a hot shower though :)
Our power came on at about midday Sat. -
