    Tingling on the taps

    We got hammered properly, our suburb took a beating from hell, for the past 48 hours it has just been shovelling sand, silt and water, and yes everyone is ok and my house is still in one piece. I cant say the same for the people around us.

    As the power is being restored, I am getting many calls from people who are experiencing a tingling feeling as they step into the shower. Unfortunately I havent been able to attend to any breakdowns or even put much thought into the cause, it is happening in suburbs all over Durban and surrounding area and seems to be happening more in estates or complexes. The only thing I can think could be happening, is the water has compromised the electrical infrastructure.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Back to my shovelling, I only have about a ton of sand still to move. We have contacted the insurance about the tree on the house, we just need a tree feller to remove it, then they can assess the damage. the electricity was restored at around 2.30 this afternoon. I have collected water for today, so we all good and we can have a hot bucket shower tonight
