Thanks Duidui49 for the Big Ups, it wasnt much this time around, but just to let you in on a wee secret, mums the word. As it so happens, I have started writing books these last handful of years, and thus am perfecting my style..sometimes you lot bare the brunt of my muse, other times I am off on a more serious mode. Typical Gemini..problem is sometimes, my laptop pre guess's my words, so a number of them come out like I am speaking Zulu or something..anyways, onward

Well I live out side of ring road, west side, and never see that they turn off power before a storm.

Hell in last couple years have had almost No outage. But it maybe because I live near the Hotel "in the middle of No Where".

Will say that some strange ---- happened a couple of weeks or so ago. Yes there was a storm (6 PM), and about 2 hours into the storm (8 PM) the power went out. Then the very strange ----.

Power came back for some (9 PM), I had ceiling fans still running slowly, and 1 small lamp in bedroom was on, nothing else. Some neighbors seem to have full power. Later the whole area went black. Then power came back, but my UPS's said it was not right. This happen a couple of times.

Long story short. Around 2 AM power came back and this time You could tell that it was ok. Never seen anything like this before.

Since then lost power the next day (sunny) for about an hour, and maybe the same the next day. Figured they were fixing something.
Since then had a couple of storms and no problems, but then again, I live near the Hotel "in the middle of No Where".

Have learnt over many years of power outages that if a storms a brewing switch stuff on ....... when the power goes and comes back at a reduced rate fans/tv/lights etc that were "on" will come back at 25 - 50% enough to work and keep you "less hot" where as stuff that was "off" will not come on at all.
If you have kids who are getting restless after an hour or so of no power, I sometimes go to the car as they are quite happy to sit there watching a video with the cars aircon working.

I would say in all my time here in this house 10+ years, when power comes back on it is very close to 100%, except for the night above. Will say when power goes off, sometimes it not fully off, will have ceiling fan still turning, but slow, or ceiling lights glowing. But on this night what was strange was bedroom lamp. Same bulb as ceiling lights, and dam it did seem to be as bright as normal, but ceiling lights nada, even the lonely one over kitchen cabinet. It was just strange, told wife that Buddha was looking after me.

Would also say that low power is not good for appliances, but not much you can do, well except shut the main and go to bed.

Power outage last night at 7:30 pm in the west side of town. Crew was working on overhead HV cables at the corner of Markhaeng and Sichomchuen Roads. Lasted 2 hours.

Just a heads up for anyone in the posh West side area of Nadi.

Im hearing tomorrows power outage will be the whole day ..9am until its finished .. saying 5pm maybe. It appears it will be effecting quite a large area around Nadi but dont know if it will include the airport and supermarkets.. they are moving the main lines running inbound from Big C round towards the carauctions.

DMs fridge freezer is empty and i shall go wile away a few hour elsewhere after my morning hairdressers appointment and ballet class.
