| Massive power outage in Surrey
30,000 hit by power outage south of Fraser - British Columbia - CBC News
Anyone got any photos of this? Sounds brutal if you live in this area. Quote:
30,000 hit by power outage south of Fraser
CBC News Posted: Jul 4, 2011 9:49 PM PT Last Updated: Jul 4, 2011 9:49 PM PT
BC Hydro could not confirm reports that a hydro tower had collapsed in Metro Vancouver. More than 30,000 homes and businesses were without electricity in Surrey and Abbotsford Monday night after a sudden power outage at about 8 p.m. PT.
BC Hydro's website reported the cause either as "under investigation" or as a "wire down."
There were reports that a hydro tower had collapsed into the Fraser River, but as of 10 p.m. PT, BC Hydro could not confirm that was the cause.
The utility initially said it expected power to be restored by 11 p.m.

I was driving from Burnaby to Surrey and as I approached 108 ave on 132nd st, the traffic light went down and it was like that all the way to 96th ave. 134th st seemed to be fine however. My area was unaffected as well. | |

More news. Highway 1 closed after massive power outage hits Abbotsford, Surrey Quote:
Highway 1 is closed both ways from west of the Port Mann Bridge to the Schoolhouse-United Blvd. area due to tonight's hydro tower collapse west of the Port Mann Bridge.
There have been reports that a high voltage tower at 142 Street and McBride Drive in Surrey crumpled and its lines fell into the Fraser River.
Surrey and Coquitlam RCMP are scrambling to evacuate the area on either side of the Fraser River.
There are 5,000 properties in Surrey still without power, following reports that a hydro tower collapsed into the Fraser River earlier tonight.
Surrey RCMP confirmed that one tower had fallen down, but said the investigation was still underway.
Reports of a blackout started at around 8 p.m. There were 25,000 customers in Surrey without power for about two hours. 5,500 properties in Abbotsford were also affected.
B.C. Hydro has yet to confirm the cause of the massive outage.
