Awesome - now we get to compare the reactions.

Wellington has an outage, it makes the news but we get on with it.
Auckland has an outage........

74000 customers in the middle of the commercial and industrial belt of Auckland probably means 200,000+ people affected. Add traffic lights plus lunch time and it is a nice mess.

You would think that Transpower would learn not do work to critical systems in the middle of a hot day when it would be a peak.
