CANBERRA, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Metropolitan areas including most of the Adelaide area are beginning to get power supply back Wednesday night after wild wind and thunderstorm led to a blackout across the entire state of South Australia.
South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill said at a press conference Wednesday night that about 80,000 lightning strikes were recorded hitting the power network and 22 major transmission poles are down. He said the wind was so strong that some of the poles were ripped out of the ground.
The power networks were shut down after the lightning strikes to avoid further damages.
Weatherill said SA Power Networks is continuing to work throughout the night to restore power. It could be still several hours before power is fully restored. People in the state's north are likely to be without power for ""considerably longer than the rest of the state.""
SA Department of Transport said all the electric trains and trams have been stopped service, which would not be restored until Thursday morning.
The emergency came amid severe weather with an intense low pressure system the worst to blast South Australia for more than 50 years.
Witnesses told Xinhua that the traffic lights in downtown Adelaide went dark late afternoon, forcing policemen to direct traffic at large intersections. Drivers on the road were urged to drive carefully.
Office buildings all went dark. There have been incidents where people got trapped in elevators when the power supply was cut. Fortunately, those trapped managed to free themselves later.
There have been no report about death or serious injuries so far.
The Premier has warned that the western coast of the Eyre Peninsula would face ""destructive winds"" of up to 125 kph on Thursday.

On Sunday the Los Angeles Lakers fired coach Byron Scott. This wasn't a terribly surprising move
nike air max 97 hvid , given that Scott presided over this season's 17-65 Kobe Bryant Farewell Tour and -posted a 38-126 overall -record.
Rumor has it that Scott might be replaced by former New York Knicks head coach Derek Fisher, who was fired by team president Phil Jackson in February after going 40-96 in just under two seasons.
Jackson's former employer, the Chicago Bulls
vans slip on hvid , fired coach Tom Thibodeau last spring despite a .610 regular season winning percentage and five playoff -appearances in five seasons.
As the saying goes, -coaches are hired to be fired. The -problem is, when the executive who hands out pink slips says
vans slip on tilbud , "This coach isn't up to the job," fans are more than justified in responding, "Then why did you hire him in the first place?"
Each team's front office has done some dopey things. The Lakers signed Bryant to a $48.5 million contract extension in 2013 to ensure that he would spend his entire career with the same team. Turns out an aging Bryant plus a dearth of free agent talent equaled the two worst seasons in franchise history.
Jackson's ego is perhaps the biggest one in New York besides owner James Dolan's. Therefore
vans toy story danmark , the former is intent on hiring a coach like interim Kurt Rambis who, like Fisher, will run Jackson's Zen-friendly triangle offense.
In Chicago
vans sk8 hi hvid , General -Manager Gar Forman and Vice President John Paxson -assembled a roster that wouldn't compete and a coach (Fred Hoiberg) who couldn't command a locker room. For every Bulls fan who wants to see Hoiberg fired for missing the playoffs this season, there are five who think Paxson and Forman have got to go first.
"The buck stops here" is an expression that promotes personal accountability. And for all the bucks NBA front office executives are paid, somebody ought to hold the staffs in Los Angeles
vans sk8 hi sort , New York and Chicago responsible for their teams' failures.
