South Canterbury Still Have No Electricity

If you have heard the news, South Canturbury, especially Timaru, still do not have any electricity after heavy snowfall hit the power lines 3 days ago. Most residents still live in the darkness and cold because the main lines are still down. Police and civil defence personnel have been visiting these residents especially those in the rural regions to check on their well being as telephone lines were also down and no communication is available. Roads are still dangerous to drive on and it has been forecasted that the snow will be coming again on Friday afternoon. Good luck to everyone at this part of NZ.
