Hey all! The husband was telling me that some of the guys he works with who live out Hunua way were saying the other night that it's actually not that unusual to lose their power out there for a week or so, and that happens every winter apparently! They all have generators because it's so normal!!

Hunua is part of Auckland too ...just a bit more rural.

I don't really have a point by the way, in case you're wondering what it is

Frankly I think the media focussed a lot on the Auckland power cut more than the Sth Island because so many more viewers are in Auckland...
Just my opinion.

I used to live at Muriwai and we would always have power cuts - so much so that we were really prepared with candles, gas cookers etc. And if it was a really windy day I would cook tea early just in case! Apparetnly out there the power circuit is a big loop, so if it goes out in one area, the whole circuit goes...

I think the auckland one was a bit overdone on the news and I do feel sorry for the people who have been without power for so long with young children.
