Nothing bad for us this time, friends are being told they'll be without power for 3 or 4 days.
Back in the 2020 storms we lost power for 14 days, it's not fun, but we had gas and our water pressure was never lost. I can't imagine being a suburb where you can't flush the bog!
Some councils have started banning gas, being completely dependant on one source of energy is poor risk management. You should have read some of the socials for our area today, all those EV adopters without something to plug into. One woman complained the kids had drained the last of the car battery recharging their phones, she couldn't even get out of the driveway, not sure if that's true or even possible but it was a good laugh! :o
