By coincidence we had a three and a bit hour power cut on Friday evening. At this time of year the only concern was the freezer, in a cold dark winter it would have been more of a problem. As the damaged cable was only a few houses along the road a repair estimate time was soon passed around the 50 or so houses effected. The damage was caused by water from a poorly installed drain when the houses were built about 15 years ago. As our power cut was localised we still had phones, mobile internet etc. a widespread extended cut would be a real problem, even life threatening for some.
