Authorities are working to restore power after the entire state of South Australia was blacked out by a storm today. (wed)


Power will reportedly be restored in Adelaide first, then throughout the state, although it could be well into tomorrow (thur) by the time some people get power back.

Winds and a lightning strike from extreme weather brought about by the worst low-pressure system to hit the state in 50 years forced the shutdown of the entire electricity network.

And that has caused all manner of trouble and inconvenience.
