Island wide blackout. Major power outage, Aug. 15, 2017

Out at work in 中山.

This is just pathetic.

Still have power in Banqiao, at least in my workplace.

Zhubei is fine. That extra nuclear powerplant would be nice about now.

Power back on just now, Sanmin Kaohsiung

sorry, doubled

Me too I’m at Shilin MRT elevator stuck…

Ha-ha. Took me a sec…

Its not THAT bad. Not as bumkinish as I many towns I have been to here.

I thought I was having a fucking stroke there, jeez…

Tried to delete it, it wouldn’t let me.

We were without Internet but heck, we were blaming the Russians - we do not blame the rebel communists anymore…

Anyways, is it safe to take the MRT or would it be wise to get different means of transportation? UBike perhaps?

Maybe related to this:

Zuoying, Kaohsiung still lit up like a Christmas tree. Thank god. I can’t exist without air conditioning.

Lights are back on in Beitou

Heard some traffic lights were not working in some parts of the city

Taoyuan, Daxi still out. Thinking about installing some solar panels. Anyone know a good company who sells that stuff?

Some secret source whispered to me that Taipower might shut down electricity in other areas soon (this evening). Don’t know if anything will happen, but I would avoid using elevators at the moment.

I wanted to do that for our townhouse, but the security people, or whatever they are called, community police(?) said that it was not allowed.
