Needless to say, that demage on powerlines like this result in a massive power blackout for many households.

Up to 250.000 households are without electricity (some only for few houers, but some for up to 5 days or longer!). We had luck (only on Saturday morning the power was gone for a short time)! In the neighbours villages they have not that much luck, there the power was gone for a up to a few days.
