Just had 6 power interruptions in the last 90 minutes. Some for only a few seconds, but annoying just the same.

It gives me a flashback to the 1990's.

It is a bit windy outside, but certainly not Tropical Storm Delta.

Should I call a specialist or other people having the same cuts?

We had a slight 2 cm of rain at 7 pm and a strong wind all evening. The cuts haven't been long enough to get the candles, always at hand, lit.

So, maybe a specialist needed then as others aren't having the same problem.

Looking out of the window, our near neighbours half a km away, were without power also, but Callao & Paraiso, 5 km down were still lit up. Hmmmmm.

The wine doesn't stop flowing after wine o'clock (6.30 here) until the bottle is empty (about now) but doesn't usually have an effect on the power, only on my ability to use the switches, lol

Few drops of rain earlier! Power cuts? I wonder if that has anything to do with our DT TV box not working now! No TV since 10.15pm.

I noticed, on my way to work this morning, that the 'telegraph pole' carrying the electrical cables at the entry to Charco del Valle, Los Menores had snapped about 3 metres up. It seemed that the cables were all still attached.

As this is 5 km from where I live, this probably wasn't the cause, but if it happened to one pole, maybe............
