Well, what is the deal?

I got alllll these emails from monitored UPS's around the city saying overvolatge/undervoltage. Nothing on energex or news.com, anyone know something

We went down for some time (maybe an hour). Switched to UPS then generator for a bit. Still unsure of what has happened though...

Our lights flickered weirdly here today (Indooroopilly) but no outages.

yeah i got it on the gold coast but was just a blip

power went out at home for a split second then came back on.

got a flicker at uq library

At Milton our lights flcikered and some computers turned off.

Our network admin was on phone to Bundaburg and they got it at same time as well as my friend down Gold Coast.

So pretty big hiccup.

pretty sure I saw something flying through the sky

Swamp gas.... You didn't see nothing.... and if you did, it was a hot air balloon reflecting of the light of mars.... right?

My fillings held my jaw shut for about 2 seconds, pretty sure it was because of some electro magnetic disturbance, but maybe i just didn't open my mouth at that point in time for some completely unrelated reason. I dunno, you tell me.

One of my clients at Bulimba lost power as well, we weren't sure what was going on...

Their ups didn't kick in either, which was strange.

Al-Qaeda.... or druids.... possibly a griffin.

Yeah happened to us at UQ (as previously said), we had the lights go out... but the radio stayed on.... weird.

Very brief dip at Albion, UPSs kicked in and out within a few seconds.

yea we almost went down also but we inverted the electro magnemtic feild arround the building to compencate. deerrr

probably had something to do with the terrormists this morning

ba dum bish

yeah same here flickered for very small moment - not long enough to cut PCs not on UPS but a dip for sure.

The stargate just had a missed call cause someone had already dialed out to px38m1 so t'ealc could come home......

I got off lucky this time, if i had of been drinking out of a wall socket, i could have been killed!

That's weird,

Give the s***e building that we're in we never experienced anything (AMP Place in city)

i used a series of granulated framastatic polarised light beams to pierce the magnetic barrier. also our power quality meters detected various sags n swells but i didn't check the details in the logs coz it's boring innit.

Roger Ramjet, he's our man, hero of the nation.

nothing in the NEMMCO Market Notices either, so was probably a low voltage thing, eg. a trip on a line or transformer, after which the automatic protection mechanisms would have come online to restore frequency and voltage.

Was in centerlink in das valley ~12pm and the lights flickered. I just figured all the people in there were becoming a drain on the power as well as society.

^ hey, that wasn't bad...

Cept admitting you were in Centrelink = pwned by self!

hahaha

I'm in ANZ building in the city and the lights all flickered.

Yeah i sawa quick flicker today but nothing major, few UPS emails... the usual s***

we had one flicker... at moorooka, didnt think anything of it until reading this thread though.

got it at work in milton too. lotsa flickering, aircon chucked a big bang.

my ups at home (moorooka) didnt catch it, and all my computers went down. Got home and the ups was screaming away...

mebe its a gitch in the matrix

That said, at home tonight have seen s***loads of lights flickering (10, 15 or so) an at least one brown out (happened when I wasn't here an flatmates told me about it)

I work in Spring Hill and we didn't have any probs.

but the radio stayed on....

Battery operated?

Nope plugged into the wall, reception temporarily went to s*** but the speakers were still making some form of noise and the display on the front stayed on.

i noticed the lights flicker here at work too (adelaide st, city), but not enough drop for UPSes to kick in.

however atleast once a week i get an email saying that the power has failed, and it's always around the same time (between 5 & 6 am)..

Call 13 62 62 and report this. Apparently the lady hadn't received any calls about this.

If they don't know it is broken, they can't fix it

it's always around the same time (between 5 & 6 am

Maybe it's a million alarm clocks, toasters and kettles ticking on all over Brisbane? *shrug*

Im on far north coast NSW, we had it as well, wierd flicky brown out thing, computers held strong though.
