Massive power outage in Richmond
 

Just a heads up to everyone, there is a large power outage in Richmond. Francis to bridgeport, minoru to no. 7 road is the area affected and according to BC hydro, it will be down until 3am. Apparently it was caused by a motor vehicle accident. Link below. Drive carefully and get home safe everybody.

You are west of Minoru, did you not read the affected areas?

That's what I was wondering as well. In all of the previous power outages i've been in, it was only a small grid that was affected. Maybe just a few blocks. But this time the area spans so far. Must be pretty serious

from shitty drivers thread

accident is around the power station granville and gardencity. so the car must have hit one of the main poles.

I've always thought that particular intersection was retarded, who the hell designed it?

I used to live in a townhouse on the SW corner of that intersection and man, weekly accidents, even back then.

used to be a tram there

The curve follows the old tram route, then they started building a road that followed the tram track, and did another road that resulted in the retard intersection you get today

Just landed from the Philippines and was greeted by a black out. Geez.

Power literally came back 2 mins ago.
Garden city and westmin.

5 and C, internet is running and my lights :fuckyea:

im out by Starlight, all is ok when I left to go work... :D

cook and garden city no problems.

The question should be, how the hell do richmond c-lai's pass their driving exams?

I featured this intersection in one of my videos, and one of the suggestions I got was "Why don't they just install a round-a-bout at this intersection instead?"

Am I the only one who thinks that there will probably be MORE accidents if they installed a round-a-bout?

I mean, I'm pretty sure there's no round-a-bouts in Richmond for a reason..

Dragon driving school lol.. anyone else remember that?
