Hi guys

Seems 6 of the Vic surf coast cams are offline.

What is the ETA on the fix?

Cheers
John

Power issues galore thanks to the recent poor weather and last night's lightning strikes (couple of power surges/brown-outs may have fried some equipment). We're sorting out today, hopefully back ASAP.

TQ cams are now sorted, 13th Beach was offline for a day but came back on its own (!), however Lorne is still down - it's a power issue in the building that we're still trying to rectify. And Anzacs is a hardware failure that'll be fixed very soon. Thanks for your patience.

Don't know if this is the place to post this one, but one of the cams is now an ABC story, of which Ben probably knows about:
