Natural Disaster

hey guys, as of friday arvo around 4pm, we lost all power here on the central coast, and have only just got it back now (9am sunday morning) just letting u all know that i;m not 100% sure if the power will stay on today ( for the karazhan raid), because they are saying on the news taht there is extensive power line damage and as quick as the restore power to one area, they lose it again in another, so x fingers and lets hope we dont lose it again. as well as losing power, my business lost 2 days of work!!!! which sucks balls!!! it means i might have to work on monday to catch up, but saying that, i'm stil not 100% sure if my customers have access ( due to road floods) or power, so i guess i wil have to see on monday how much money i have lost!

on a sadder note, due to the crazy storm here, we have lost 7 lives, u might have seen the phootage on the news of the road that opened up and washed away a car, and of a man who got washed down a storm water drain.
I have lived on the coast for my whole life, and apart from bushfires, this is the worst natural disaster that the east coast of NSW has seen. My thoughts are with the families of those who are less fortunate than me and have faced the storm head on and lost. and my best wishes and strength go out to all the emergency workers who are working endlessly to try and restore some order on this messed up long weekend.

Yes sorry to hear it Zul. I was reading the news and was curious as to how close it was to your area up there. I saw the photo of the old pacific highway collapse... and yeah, didnt look good. Sad

Hay Zul
I hope everything is ok up there I been hearing stories all week how bad it got with no power, telephones lines, flooding and all that it's really affected allot of our customers. I hope all it well and that you missed the worst of it. I've seen pics on telly too and it really doesn't look good reminds me of some of the pics from the tidal wave that hit Indonesia a few x-mas's ago of cause it's not that bad but the pics look bad from what I have seen. Say did they get that coal tanker going again or is it still stranded ?
Well das it hope all is well
