Southern Cross Cable segment E has been damaged by a landslide on the land segment near Portland, Oregon. Cable repair crews are unable to start work due to extensive storm-induced flooding in the area. Their expectation is that work will commence during Dec 4, leading to an estimated restoration of service early Wednesday morning Australian time.
