insertmembernamehere Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Here is an interesting site with information on outages in the US: http://powerquality....ker/default.asp They also have information on Canada and NZ and Australia, I believe. If you roll over you can see the causes of the outages. I wonder if some of these are the same causes as for here.

samuijimmy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Mine, in Maenam, went out sometime during the night, I got woken up by the UPS box beeping.... I am not sure what time as I could not see the clock! But it was after the very heavy rain ..... I guess we can all be thankful we are not in the eastern USA, 3 million plus people. going to be without power for several days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never run to this half power thing on Samui, it's on or off, ..... half power, used to be a regular thing when i lived on KP .... enough to watch the telly, but not much else..... never did figure that out......

Tropicalevo Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Well - it's not much help to us here in paradise, but we are not the only ones with the problem. http://news.yahoo.co...-220940392.html If you do not want to read the article - it starts off with "In the aftermath of violent storms that knocked out power to millions from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic , sweltering residents and elected officials are demanding to know why it's taking so long to restring power lines and why they're not more resilient in the first place. The answer, it turns out, is complicated" Does this sound familiar? And the USA is not exactly a tropical island in developing nation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny a neighbour on the next Soi just asked me this afternoon how come my power was always on and his goes off... this time his stayed on!
