Aurora Energy lines in residential Lindsay Rd, Caversham during the heavy winds last week. The street is located not far north of Lookout Point on the west side of the Southern Motorway.
● Some of the lines in the videos are supported by red-tagged poles.
● Delta has previously said the concrete poles here are prone to concrete cancer – the surface has pitted allowing moisture to corrode their steel reinforcing.
● Some lines are touching one another or tangling in the heavy winds.
● One resident when standing in his section can nearly touch the sagging lines in no-wind conditions….

ODT: Power cut to parts of Queenstown, Glenorchy
Glenorchy and parts of Queenstown are without power after wild weather brought down lines overnight and Delta warns that an extended power cut is a possibility. A tree that had fallen across powerlines at Bobs Cove on the Queenstown-Glenorchy Rd has cut power to the southern lake settlement and blocked the road in both directions. […] This morning a Delta spokesman said power remained out to all of Glenorchy and the Queenstown suburbs of Fernhill and Sunshine Bay. Cont/
