Series of Power Interruptions

That's very inconvenient. We are so used to using electricity for so many years, and a day of no power just sucks big time. Good thing, we don't have much around here, because our place is pretty close to the main power source in the island. We only have power interruptions when there are necessary fixings on the power lines.

I hate power interuptions especially the long one. So far no power interuptions in our place for past few months. It is really irritating especially when it is hot and my cellphone is low bat.

Hi friend, We usually don`t experience power interruptions where I live, but my city had no power for over 3 days after the latest big earthquake, in February 27, 2010. The worst was the food I had in the freezer I had to clean up later and throw away all fish and seafood. THe rest were ok, but I didn`t dare eat anything from the sea. I have a gas stove. I do have many electric gadgets in the kitchen, but I can do with the stove and some pots.

We have had situations like this before. Awhile back now I believe 2003 we had the big blackout and went a few days without power. Its hard to adjust as we are so use to having the power. Imagine if it were in the middle of the winter.

power interruptions is normal here in our place, it will take 1 second then it will resume, bad for me when I still don't have a back-up battery for my pc :(, then sometimes it will take 1 whole day. We are in a province, so expect power outage when there's a strong typhoon or continuous heavy rains. We even experienced not having electricity for a month in 2004 because a strong typhoon destroyed almost all electricity posts in the mountains. For me, I will be totally pissed off if this happens again even for 1-2 days, because I am working online. And I don't have a generator at home :)

Yes, we have experienced power outages in last few days but it was was short like 30 minutes. Sorry to hear about your situation...hoping that the power problem will be resolve the soonest.

If power goes out here it's usually during the summer when it gets so hot that too many people are using their air conditioners and other appliances. But it doesn't stay off that long. Last year, during winter we had a nasty storm. It didn't affect my community but a friend of mine lived in a town where electricity was off for a week. It was pretty hard but they got through it.

I think there may be some major power failure or power related maintenance happening around and hope it will resume shortly. Here in our area, the power shortage is more in recent years. As I live away form city for 60 kms. we got power cuts for 2+2 hras a day, ie 2 hrs. in the morning form 11 to 1 pm and from evening 4 to 6. As we got less rains this years it got increased to 3+3 and it is really horrible. Anyway, there is rains for last 2-3 days and which may cause improve the water levels in the dam and which will result in less power cuts. But the people in the city areas neve face the power problems and we have 24 hrs. electricity supply.

Every weekend whenever I go home to my parents' house, there's always power interruption. Good thing though, that we have our very own gen set, so it really doesn't bother me much except for the fact that we won't be able to use the air conditioner.
