Well sitting here watching the flood waters rise I have read lots of old posts and it seems that there is a huge brains trust here in things electrical..
So The river has come up about 1m since 02:00. and is now lapping 1/2 way up my power box on the utility pole 60m from the house. All the breakers are now under water and the bottom of the meters is going under as I watch. The wheels still spin. As this is not the first time this has happend as you can see by the mud stains on the white face... I've seen them full of water still 3 days after the waters go down.. So why ? We all know that power and water shouldent mix..
Its a good look with the xmas lights in the trees hanging about 1m above the water sparkly reflections ...
I'm knot complaining it facinates me .. I exercise great caution and donk go nere it. But I have snuck a look .. lol.
Probbly had a few to many Irish coffees after only 3 hours sleep waiting for water to launch boat at front door .. She floated off the trailer a bout 20 mins ago..
Cheers
