    12 hours without power now (went out and there was a very weird chaotic vibe around town. And a woman got crushed by a tree in front of her daughter. :frowning: ) ..... the extent of my desire for electricity after only 12 hours is pretty pathetic and shameful.

    oh sounds horrible dont open the freezer door or the air will make everything defrost if the powers been out a while
    i certainly dont miss storms

    like winter ''or'' love spring
    Yes, I'm starting to wonder about the stuff in the fridge!
    The destruction is pretty profound for here. I walked maybe 10 blocks, and saw MANY houses with trees on top of them, lots of crushed fences, several roads blocked by a tree (including the highway), and a big tree fell right onto the playground in the park near my place. It's pretty crazy for these parts! ... ugh. And I'm down to 5% on my phone.
    I did find a pub that had power with a friend though, and hadn't seen her for a while, so still a good night. :)

    Wow. Sorry to hear it got so bad over there. The destruction is much less here, and I don't think anyone lost power. My brother and his family live in the Mt. Pleasant area and there is a tree down on a house and blocking the road in their block, but thankfully they were spared.

    Still no power. 24 hours now...
    I am sitting in a London Drugs stealing their power. It took me half an hour just to find an outlet not already being used - there are people just lying all over the floor in the mall because there are periodic outlets embedded in the floors. :lol: Some people aren't figuring out what's going on so there are a lot of people who just think walked into crazytown. :lol: (i personally am not willing to lie on the floor in public for the internet... i looked a little harder and found an outlet and a shitty $99 futon to hang out on. :tongue:

  • The pics from down south sure are scary, hopefully everyone gets power back soon. My favorite part is all the tweets asking BCHydro if the are going to pay for the expired food etc., have any of those people looked outside - BC Hydro did not do this.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    SMH. I had not heard people were asking that, lol.
    What I can't believe is how many people call 911 because they've got a tree blocking their driveway or because a tree fell on their parked car. Apparently there were even thousends simply calling 911 because their power was out!! image There were so many of these idiots that no one could get through to 911 for a few hours and people having real emergencies were shit out of luck.

    PJ_Soul, I hope your are fully powered and ready to go by now.

    There was a big tree down across my bike trail yesterday morning but it was possible to shove the bike under and crawl under. That was the only downed tree I saw but plenty of branches.
