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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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
