Sydney: Australian Utilities ran on Tuesday to connect more than 120,000 homes and businesses still blackened by winds and floods that criticized the east coast.
The Alfred Cyclone, which signed right on the high seas before throwing land as a tropical minimum on Saturday, mistreated a 400 -kilometer coast section (250 miles) for five days.
The wild weather became a life when a 61 -year -old man who was driving a four -wheel drive truck was swept from a bridge to a river flooded on Friday.
Since then, wind and rain have decreased through the coast to Horcajadas de Queensland and Nueva Wales del Sur, but the country's stripes remained without power.
In the southeast of Queensland harder, where 118,000 properties were still cut on Tuesday morning, the regional supplier Energex said it aimed to obtain 95% of them reconnected for Friday.
“More than 2,000 employees are again on the ground today and the weather looks good for work and flying our helicopters to evaluate the isolated sections of the network,” he said in an update.
Energex said that more than 450,000 places in Queensland lost energy during the emergency, a state record of interruptions caused by a natural disaster.
In the northeast of Nueva Wales del Sur, Essential Energy said that 7,600 homes and companies were still without energy.
“It is expected that customers can experience the power that comes on and off for periods of time as the equipment works through failures and the damage caused by strong winds, heavy rains, fallen trees and vegetation waste,” the company said.
