1. The entire state of South Australia lost power this afternoon and people lost their minds.
Will the last person to leave South Australia please turn off the ...
2. 1.6m people are without power!!!
For those outside of South Australia - 1.677 million people live here. That's a whopping 1.677 million people WITHOUT POWER. #AdelaideStorm

"This is like Adelaide's Armageddon" - @Katrina_Stokes #AdelaideStorm
4.
Right now the whole of #Adelaide is sitting in the dark tweeting/texting/Facebooking that they are sitting in the dark. #AdelaideStorm
5.
Remember the first rule of a power outage is to use all the charge on your phone to talk about not having power #AdelaideStorm
6.
Somewhere in SA, there's a person with a huge rooftop solar system & a couple of Tesla Powerwalls, rocking out & completely oblivious
7. People pointed the finger at a certain footie team.
hate when people say SA is without power it's like ummmmm try again sweetie @PAFC
8. Port Adelaide FC took responsibility.
We're sorry 😐 #AdelaideStorm
9. And there were lots of questions...
Well, we have no power.... So the question is... Who do we eat first?
10.
I wonder how many babies will be born in 9 months? #AdelaideStorm
11.
How can entire state lose power? Especially one that's given us so much wine?
12.
Is it time to stock up on Coopers, just in case?
13.
Anyone know when the power's coming back on? Asking for a friend. I'm absolutely not sitting at a petrol station on empty. #AdelaideStorm
14. The culprit was a HUGE storm.
Black spots on the radar are not good news.. rain & storms now lashing Yorke Peninsula - to reach Adelaide very soo… https://t.co/L8XMl6UQv5
15. A huge, unseasonal storm.
But... It's the middle of spring... 😶⛈ #AdelaideStorm
16. A huge, SCARY storm.
A TREE IN THE YARD NEXT DOOR JUST GOT HIT BY LIGHTNING OMFGWHATTHEACTUAL THAT WAS TERRIFYING. #AdelaideStorm
17. The Premier didn't have much to report.
Power outages affecting all of SA. May be outages for an extended period. More to come. Stay tuned to ABC891 on battery operated radio.
18. But it was scary.
Major power outage across #Adelaide - traffic lights out at many intersections please be careful if driving #AdelaideStorm
19. Very scary.
Scary going through intersections #SApowerout @891adelaide
20. Uber was off the charts.
Love that sweet sweet surcharge. #SAStorms
21. People used the #AdelaideStorm hashtag to have a pop at SA's electricity providers.
South Australia has the highest power prices in the country.. Yet as soon as the #AdelaideStorm hits the whole STATE is without electricity.
22. While non-South Australians threw shade.
Well I suppose one good thing about this SA power blackout is at least Adelaide's nightlife won't be affected at all. #AdelaideStorm
23.
Exclusive vision of South Australia coming through.
24.
South Australia goes into blackout, dozens of serial killers suddenly unable to cut up bodies with power tools #AdelaideStorm
25. And of course Twitter mocked-up ridiculous Photoshop.
Terrifying shots emerging from the #AdelaideStorm. Stay safe friends!
