Hi Mike, yep still around. too busy with work, upgowing kids at home and making video's for youtube, blowing up old electrical stuff and doing electrical experiments as well.
Make a few dollars out of that as well.
We had a weatherbomb in Auckland, last week, with trees across lines, lots of rain, hot water pilot faults and the like.
A lot of older substations are being upgraded to SF6 switchgear. All the intereswting stuff is slowly disappearing.
A great website to trace lightning activity worldwide is
Blitzortung ( Google for it )
Usually lightning storms affect electricity networks.
