Rolling Blackouts: Friday 8 May 2015 [Stage 1 from 10am]

[MickeyD]

Any bets it moves to Stage 2 later?

 

[ToxicBunny]

No bets.. its an obvious move.

 

[Kosmik]

No bets.. its an obvious move.

Possibly Stage 3.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Now that would be a bet maybe....

I tend to agree.. I see Stage 2 around 2pm, Stage 3 around 5 or 6pm.

 

[Zewp]

Nice. Unless we go to stage 4, there's nothing for me today.

 

[Zewp]

Any bets it moves to Stage 2 later?

If we have Stage 1 this early, then we're definitely going to move up later.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Time to move close to a hospital.

 

[rsifan]

If we have Stage 1 this early, then we're definitely going to move up later.

I hope not, stage 3 will affect me from 6pm to 10pm

 

[MickZA]

Stage 1 & 2 I can live with, 16:00-18:30 for both.

Stage 3 is a problem depending on when it's imposed, 20:00-? (you never know these days).

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yay... 6pm to 8pm for me.. woohoo.

 

[savage]

Another day, another Eskom kokup! Funny how these things have now just became another part of life...

We're not even surprised anymore, it's not IF, but WHEN

Oh well - I'm braaing tonight in darkness, regardless of what stage we're at around 18:00...

I demand Stage 3 from 4pm.

 

[MickZA]

I demand Stage 3 from 4pm.

... works for me as well, my batteries don't like a double hit so close together.

Seems like most of soweto is in the dark at the moment!

Oh, have you moved? Grp 5 will have the 20:00-22:30 slot if… sorry, when they switch to Stage 2.

If recent days are anything to go by we'll have an hour of stage one, before they start stage 2 at 17:00, and we'll be hit again at 20:00.

... I must be losing it, not sure which schedule I was looking at.

See we also get hit 14:00-16:30 on stage 2 as well - ah well, the suns out, people shouldn't need their heaters and can braai this evening

Apparently all of it switched off.

Any reason given?

 

[Sinbad]

[stepper]

Called the call center to report fault and was told by the agent that all of Soweto off. Then called people in other areas and they all experiencing outages.
