It's also untrue. We get notification when our block is likely to be hit.
We received advance warning today (at around 11:00am) that cuts were very
likely somewhere between 12:00 and 1:00pm, and that any blackout would
last around 90 minutes. Sure enough, at around 12:30, we lost power.
I've also heard notifications over the radio giving details of which
blocks were next on the rota to lose power (and explaining how to find
which block you were in by examining your electricity bill).
It's not the first time this particular story has surfaced, though.
I saw it the last time we had cuts, as well. It was discussed at
length, and pretty much discounted. Who is spreading it this time?
