Summary
Late Thursday night, a major power outage plunged 739 homes and businesses in Christchurch’s City, Linwood, and Richmond into darkness—streets like Armagh, Gloucester, and Stanmore Road hit hardest. Orion Energy responded swiftly, aiming for full restoration by 1:28 AM Friday. The cause remains under investigation, and they’re urging locals to call 0800 363 9898 with any info. A brief blackout, but a stark reminder of how dependent we are on the grid—and how quickly things can go dark. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
