One Night Black Out

81122, meralco,truck
Philippines
August 13, 2022 9:45pm CST
There was a line maintenance with the power company a last week. That night they were half a dozen trucks and line men on the road. But after 30 minutes, they left, only this truck remained so I took a picture of it. The next day, one of the tenant in the market said they were on the side of the public market doing maintenance. I thought it would be nice to have a black out at night instead of afternoon. I was wrong, and it was hard to sleep even if I had three battery operated fans. Have a nice day

Blackouts at night make hard for me to sleep at night as well. That only happens in my neighborhood if there is a storm or an accident on the road that kayos the electrical power source.

Hello @Deepizzaguy We had experience strong storms before and trees would knock out the lines.

I guess if you are sleeping black outs not bad but yeah summer here so not a good time to have a black out but also is the coolest time if there is going to be one. Black outs just suck period. I hope they got you guys all fixed up again.

A black out is no fun at all especially when it is really hot outside because of summer.

Hello @RebeccasFarm that's true but it's better than no fan at all.

@Letranknight2015 NO, they always do at night so that people are not annoyed during the day.
