I was living in Horsham when the power station blew up on a hot day in November. I was watching one of those mid Arvo money programs on tv (the millionaires chaser or whatever), then the power went out. Then there was a bang. Then there were sirens. Went outside, and there was a gigantic black plume directly in front of us (we were on the other side of town, but a small town and the lack of high-rises makes it easy to see such things). Then like 2 hours later we got a text message from powercor, saying the power is out. Was a bit of a “ya think???” Situation, but from memory they fixed it the next morning
Apart from the power going off for maybe half an hour, which was kinda fun tbh, it wasn’t as bad as we were expecting.
