Since this morning we expected an 8 hours of blackout in our place. The good news is that only 3 hours were followed and not the original time.
Still it cause some trouble to us because many activities were affected. Many people complain of hot day.
The electricity has been restored now.

Yes, electricity have been erratic these days, I wonder if it's connected to the destabilization plot inthe news

@ilocosboy i hope this situation gets resolved. I can't imagine how someone will be able to bear so much heat in case there is no electricity.

@Nawsheen It's really hard to handle things especially no electricity. They are fixing it but for how long. We are hoping not long enough.

The reason they are saying is overloading, of course only the company can understand what is overloading

@ilocosboy That's really troublesome. What's the reason for the random power outage?

@ilocosboy Oh I meant did the heat cause the power outage? Or weather oh both of them.

that is good to know. 8 reduced to 3 is better than having the 8 hours.

@ilocosboy if possible, we do not want to experience further power interruption because the temperature is so hot, even AC thermostat cannot endure the hotness of our climate.
