jackr Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 What I'm worried most about is the effect of water entering all the electrical outlets, of which there are many near floor level. I assume this will short out the whole house. Any advice on how to avert this? Actually almost all my electronics, frigde etc are on the first floor. Of course I can move them upstairs, but not much help if the power goes... Knock the MCB off or pull the fuse out of the dist' board for the downstairs ring circuit . If you're not sure, set the microwave off and knock them off one by one until she stops spinning . If you have a Safe-T-Cut jobby, it'll still probably cut the house when the water hits the dead sockets. There is a way around this which doesn't involve bypassing the Safe-t-Cut, but don't mess around if you're unsure. Much of this is greek to me, but I get the part about cut off the circuit and it'll probably short anyhow...which is what I pretty much figured. Had a few days reprieve but the surrounding water is still high enough that another good dfownpour will do it. Thinking of covering up the sockets with duct tape after cutting tyhe circuit if it comes to that in the hopes it might help...figure can't hurt? Yeah, don't muck around if the water is that high. Turn the main switch off on the fuse box (distribution board), before the water even comes in and don't walk around in it. Good idea to cover the sockets up as well, although the water will find it's way in through the back no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catfish I usually refer my phone to condom abuse during Songkran and generally get away with it when it's under the seat, but not when the rain is belting down sideways at ya. The lightning dancing about overhead lastnight added to the excitement but my new trainers weren't too happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayo Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 well, instead of a little rain, we got hit by the biggest hurricane since 1947, and had a few hundred people die, and many thosands displaced. The bar survived though was coverd in about 2 meters of mud.... We´re now getting things back to normal slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
