Two different days and two different places had power off.
FRIDAY
Came over early to visit Phoebe and the power was off at St Lucia.
SATURDAY
Early evening, having a shower and the power went off at Corinda. Got out wet and fumbled around looking for my torch. Gave up. Used phone light and got back in the shower to rinse off. Later found the torch.
No power in my life.
In order to get the full cyclone experience
going to force myself to eat the one pre-packaged emergency dinner.
And feeling self-righteous having prepared a torch(with batteries), gas to cook on and what one could call food in an emergency.
In the dark, between stirring the "dinner", Got the inverter that I had brought home from work out of my car. Collected the two car batteries from down stairs and brought it all up stairs.
Sat back ate the plastic emergency food and checked facebook.
The mobile data was very slow and only one bar. I assume that the mobile network providers do not have battery backup. The Optus tower is in Corinda and in the middle of the power outage
