We had a power outage from 4am this morning. It ****ing sucked, the power came back on at 5pm but we thought it was going to last 48 hours which it will for some suburbs. There was a huge fire in a power station thingy so 85,000 homes were without power. What pissed me off was people mocking Aucklanders online for having this as big news because all they will miss out on is their lattes. But HELLO there is a huge proportion of poor people here too and think about the sick and elderly forced to try and get by with no power or cellphone coverage (yes that is out as well). I went through the Christchurch earthquakes and have dealt with worse but we as Kiwi's should be supporting each other like the Aucklanders did for CHCH by pouring donations towards the rebuild and recovery.
/end rant
