Yeah, it's bad. Which Gas station? Seems like.. well.. all of them at this point.

Looking at the map it feels like the noose is getting tighter!

The lights keep flickering in the house, but it's not common for Fraserview to be out of power though.

Vansterdam 11-19-2024 08:13 PM

getting loud out there!

Outages on the Island are unreal. According to the BC Hydro Outage map, it seems like the entire stretch from Parksville all the way down to Victoria is out of power. FailFish

Side note: fuck these websites and their regional blocking. What do they think they're accomplishing by not letting overseas Canadians see their website? All it takes is a VPN.

So I noticed that too while I was in HK. There were outages and I wanted to see if my house was affected. Nope, can't see shit. People travel... what kind of fucking dumbass idea......

Thank the jerks who try to mess with them and make the region blocking necessary.

Hows YVR doing? I'm supposed to bounce through there tomorrow.

Dbone 11-20-2024 05:01 AM

I believe YVR is on it's own underground grid. It's fine.

I has been, 1 day since an airplane crashed at YVR. Good luck! (Everything's fine it was an Amazon plane and no one was hurt but it's causing delays)

Badhobz 11-20-2024 05:44 AM

I’m at YVR right now picking up ze wife and it’s okay. Power is on, she landed safely. You should be okay today

Bit of a nothing burger in South Van area. Just strong winds, all the leaves are blown off the trees but no power outage. It is quite calm right now.

Darn. Yet another delay to starting your life as a blonde whore mongering man of he sea :ilied:

Manic! 11-20-2024 07:18 AM

10 minutes after I posted I lost power and still don't have it. It could be days before power is back everywhere.

I’ve been out since 8:30 and it looks bad around my area. Could be an all day outage around here.

whitev70r 12-14-2024 12:18 PM

Stay home everyone. Good thing you didn't try to go to Squamish, you wouldn't have gotten very far!

Power went out around 8:30, so we decided to go out. Power came back around 11:30 while we were at Metrotown.

Maybe it's the wind, maybe it's the GST holiday, but Metrotown and surrounding was a clusterfucking shit show.

holiday season + the GST thing being into effect today should be a shit show at most malls

Ever since they redeveloped the parking in front of the bay you couldn’t pay me to try and park in the underground on any day

Me. Power went out at 0830. Didn't come back on till 1430. LTE doesn't work either. I tried to force WCDMA/GSM to force 4G but it results in no service. I find LTE doesn't work during power outages.

I went to WR to buy some hot pot stuff (dirt cheap there) but as we were lining up to pay the power went out lol

Battery/Generator back up run time/availability is site dependent.

MG1 12-14-2024 03:36 PM

Coming up to seven hours without power. Good thing I have a lot of Milwaukee cordless lanterns and work lights
