Southern Power Grid sent more than 300 emergency repair personnel, 45 vehicles, five equipped with laser cleaning devices and four sets of large lighting equipment to help repair the damaged electrical equipment.

Meanwhile, the company also arranged for 15 generator cars to provide temporary power support and quickly restore power to most affected users through power transfer and related temporary measures.

The Zhongluotan and Taihe areas suffered from severe blackout after they were hit by thunderstorms, affecting the power supply to many users in the two areas on Saturday afternoon, said the statement.

A 76-year-old resident surnamed Zhu in Zhongluotan said he had never seen such a severe tornado disaster before.
