why was there a flood?

Dunno. We've had loads of rain round here the last couple of days, but nothing that extreme.

Th GF works for the power company and called an engineer she knows to see what's going on, apparently their redirecting the electricity

to cirumvent the problem sub-station until they can fix it properly

but it's been a pain in the arse coz I haven't been able to get online all day since my router kept dropping out everytime the power died

that's really annoying. It's also odd that no one knows why it flooded.

I'm only getting the info 3rd hand, so not sure of all the details. Don't know if they left a window open or something

power's been stable for the last couple of hours, but apparently tht's a temp fix and they'll cut power to switch back to the permanent...

fix during the middle of the night when fewer people are likely to notice and complain about it
