poweralert....

Fortunately for all of us, the nuclear fuel doesn't seem to suffer from such an elementary error and I don't think there are any power plants located in the Northern Cape and Eastern Cape...

I was referring to last week.

Anyway, you guys are affected by mist and jelly fish.

Sadly we only have one nuclear plant and it's only running at 50% right now, also the world got scared and decided to not go more nuclear.

Judging by recent news articles, somebody from eskom thinks its not running at all.

Yup, yet the data shows it is.

Considering they've not even given any excuses anymore, I mean we barely even get proper power alerts. Seems that they prefer to keep us like mushrooms. Also how does the weather lady know my movements?

I'm not surprised as we behave like mushrooms. Why have there been no more marches organized 10-20 times bigger than the one and only one earlier this year? There is no heat so they don't bother when they saw nothing happen. Even the president doesn't rush home anymore.

Inspires confidence when the public knows more that the manager at eskom.

All people on house arrest are monitored

I think it's more like the people who are getting effected are just trying to get on with life, the ones who normally march prefer load shedding as it's not 5 hours off in the morning and 5 hours off at night for load reduction.

Agreed, we need a new animal that survives boiling point.

I know, but the rain we've had in JHB for the last week isn't normal. Mpumalanga everytime I've been it's rained... Wait a second maybe it's me?

"And as he drove on, the rain clouds dragged down the sky after him for, though he did not know it, Lupus was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him and water him."​

Couldn't resist.

Can Weather Affect Lupus Symptoms?

New data finds there is a relationship between specific weather and atmospheric changes and flare-ups of certain lupus symptoms. Experts say further studies should be done to better understand these links.

On another note, do you guys think Eskom will drop to Stage 4 or lower for Sunday, or still too early to guess?

I think they'll "try", then the Jo'burg weather will force them to cancel..

Considering it jumped to stage 5 last week Saturday, not really

No, they will just save diesel imho. Stage 6 is the new norm.
