    Apart from the power going off for maybe half an hour, which was kinda fun tbh, it wasn’t as bad as we were expecting.

      I was living in Horsham when the power station blew up on a hot day in November. I was watching one of those mid Arvo money programs on tv (the millionaires chaser or whatever), then the power went out. Then there was a bang. Then there were sirens. Went outside, and there was a gigantic black plume directly in front of us (we were on the other side of town, but a small town and the lack of high-rises makes it easy to see such things). Then like 2 hours later we got a text message from powercor, saying the power is out. Was a bit of a “ya think???” Situation, but from memory they fixed it the next morning
