They've had a Net-Gain .... 3 births during the cyclone.btw no deaths so far, no floods and only moderate damage
it looks like they took it well
Yasi left the toilet seat up. Tsk.lol if someone was on the toilet it would be quite scary
a scary ****
well really if transmission towers went down, everything would get cut off within .3 of a second with all the protection relays and pilots, however in that .3 seconds, enough energy is produced that will be catastrophic...Storm may cut power
Ms Bligh said Ergon Energy was planning for an event that could see anywhere between 150,000 and 200,000 people lose power, even in areas not impacted by the cyclone.
"They expect that we could see the impact come as far south as Mackay in relation to electricity supply," she said.
"Because this event has now escalated to a category five event, we also need to understand that it will have the capacity to bring down transmission towers.
"This means that electricity supply could be seriously disrupted even in parts of regional Queensland that do not have the effects of the cyclone and people need to be ready for that possibility."
She said 800 electrical workers would be on the ground from Saturday to ensure power was being reconnected as soon as possible.
Ms Bligh also warned there could also be a breakdown in telecommunications.
Optus and Telstra were working to put extra experts on the ground as soon as possible to restore phone networks.
"They have located additional technicians, generators and a satellite system in Mackay to transport quickly," she said.
At least it wouldve passed quite easilylol if someone was on the toilet it would be quite scary
