Summary
Power outages hit North Canterbury hard as over 100 MainPower customers remain in the dark, with some facing days without electricity—especially near Kaikōura where a bridge washout has blocked access and halted repairs. Heavy rain has damaged infrastructure, flooding roads and delaying crews, while smaller outages ripple through Inland Road and Mendip Road. Safety first: restoration is underway, but patience is key as crews assess damage and plan repairs. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
