Bull Pot Farm - power outage

[hannahb]

Please don't come to the farm for the time being. Something got struck by lightning last night and we don't have power, therefore we don't have water or flushing toilets. I'll update once it's back up.

The power people are working on it.

Power cut status

Thanks but the surge has blown the fuse box cover off the wall along with some plaster so it's not just a case of power being restored to the area because we may have electrical damage indoors too. An electrician is going to look at it but we don't know when. So I will update when it's fixed.

"There was another strike reported 01.46 in the Higher Casterton to Bull Pot area, it’s caused extensive damage to power lines and 4 customers houses"

There were at least two massive lightning strikes somewhere just to the SW of Ingleton. Lots of people over many square miles woken up.

"the Ingleton strike around (02.07) that vibrated the ground, shook windows, and knocked internet & power off"

It is mostly sorted now thanks to hard work by skilled people.

We don't have water supply to the toilets but we are managing fine with buckets from the stream. Everything else is back to normal for the time being.
