Tens of thousands of Victorians remain without power in storm-affected communities as the clean-up continues | AbbirDib
Carole Rushbrook from Kalorama says the storm has been a source of trauma for her family as she learns to adapt to living without the comfort of electricity.
Carole has been driving to her daughter’s house in Bayswater on most days to charge her phone and tablet. It’s the only way she can stay in touch with her community and let everyone know she is still safe. But she doesn’t blame AusNet for the slow return of power.Carole Rushbrook “We are incredibly sorry, we understand that waking up for the fifth day in a row with no power is a pretty terrible circumstance,” he said on 3AW.
Mr Brown says although people in storm-affected areas are becoming tired they must be cautious when clearing their neighbourhoods. Two people died in the floodwaters last week. Police said search and rescue officers found a body, believed to be that of missing 20-year-old woman Nina Barake, in floodwaters about 10.40am on Friday. Ms Barake was last seen leaving her home in nearby Simpson on Wednesday.
