According to Orion's website approximately 50,000 properties had no power on Thursday morning.
Power outages have been reported at many suburbs including Addington, Cashmere, Spreydon, Riccarton, Sydenham, Hoon Hay Valley, Wigram, Tai Tapu, Sockburn, Westmorland, Wigram and Akaroa.
The New Zealand Transport Authority said signals at 35 intersections were out in south Christchurch as a result of the outage. Road users were asked to apply the give way rules.
An Orion spokeswoman said
the power outage was caused by an issue in the Transpower line from Twizel. Transpower manage the national electricity grid.
A crash involving four vehicles happened the intersection of Marshland Rd and Prestons Rd. An Ambulance was declined but NZTA advised motorists that delays were possible.

Does anyone have a solution for getting rid of "earwigs" they are eating all my flowers.
"Kids are resilient. They bounce back."
Actually no. Professionals don't say that any more (if they ever did). It is increasingly recognised that the traumas and hurts suffered by kids in their childhoods have dramatic effect on the course and well-being of their adult lives. … View more"Kids are resilient. They bounce back."
Actually no. Professionals don't say that any more (if they ever did). It is increasingly recognised that the traumas and hurts suffered by kids in their childhoods have dramatic effect on the course and well-being of their adult lives. Especially if those negative experiences go unattended by safe, caring adults.
Parental separation, sudden trauma and experiences of loss, death, abuse, bullying and neglect (just to name a few), can all be understood by a child as powerfully harmful messages about who they are and what the world they are being asked to live in is like.
So lets really work together to support and care for the little people around us.
And then there are the children who are anxious, angry or fearful for no apparent reason....
