The authorities of Australia confirmed on Monday that due to the storm "Alfred", which brought massive power outages, about 120,000 homes in the east of the country remain without power.
In addition, due to the aftermath of the storm, power lines and infrastructure were damaged, which complicated the work on restoring electricity. Emergency services are working at the sites of the incidents, but due to difficult conditions, many people may have to wait several days before electricity is restored in their homes.
The storm "Alfred" brought with it strong gusts of wind and hail, which led to serious destruction, including the breakage of power lines. We are working on restoring the situation and urge residents to be cautious," said a representative of the local authorities.
It is expected that in the coming days, work on restoring electricity will continue in a state of heightened readiness to minimize the downtime for homeowners. However, according to forecasts, the weather remains uncertain, complicating the situation and requiring additional safety measures.
