(on another local expat site recently) author: How long do these power cuts normally last we’ve had no power for hours now
Ours went off around 6.30 and back on around 8PM ****
Came back on about 8...check it hasn't tripped when it went off and on...happened to me once and I had sat there for hours before realising ****
Depends where you are. In La Barrosa we were cut off 4 times.It comes back and goes off again. But came back for good (hoping) about 8pm ****
In some areas of Paga del Smoke we have been without power since 7pm still not back on. ****
just a word of advice, unplug TV and other sundry items that you don't need as occasionally you can get surges when electricity returns. ****
author: Thank you , I’ve not had many power outs in my life time so good to know
Ours came back somewhere during the night ****
we have done the same thing , sat for hours with no electric then tested the trip switch lol ****
Ours came back on at 2 30 in the morning ****
