Huge tree from my neighbours yard came crashing down and ripped his fence, his next door neighbours fence and parts of ours apart. 3/4 of my driveway was blocked off. One of my neighbours brought out his chainsaw and hacked the tree to bits. After a few hours of clean up with my neighbours. We've cleared a path through it but there's still lots of damage and part of the tree in their fences

This was close call...

Looks like Ozada? Near Coquitlam river?

No power at my place.. According to hydro site estimated restore time is noon tomorrow. :fuuuuu:

East 22nd and Kootenay Street. ~12:45pm

And here's the extra irony. BC Hydro's website is currently down. :lol

yep, that would be it. There were also some more downed trees all along Ozada parallel to the river.

CKNW NEWS ALERT


BC Hydro now says more than 400 thousand customers are without power, including more than 300 thousand in the Lower Mainland. Winds expected to ease tonight. Many customers will be without power for at least a few more hours.

Trying to get an ETA is nigh impossible atm -_- sigh

lol... nice estimates, hydro. Not going to complain though, power restored! :cool:

Knock on wood the power gods spared us and power remained, worst of it seems to be over at least for now.

no power at my house in panorama area of surrey. theres a few downed power lines in the area so it could take a while. ugh, i tried to check hydro's website for an estimation on when the power would be restored but the site is currently down. :okay:

Just keep trying the mobile site you can get through

What I can't stand is that we don't have any above ground power lines in our neighbourhood yet we'll always lose power -_- its gotten better since they put us onto another grid but here we are again -_-

Looks like I have some chainsawing to do... (ignore daughter's finger in the frame)

Wow, that rain storm that happened 5 mins ago gave my car a pretty good wash.

Richmond is a warzone lol I saw like 3 accidents on my 15 min drive to the gym

It was crazy windy by the water in Crescent Beach/White Rock/South Surrey area. Never seen waves that big before in this area. Lots of debris and fallen trees, power line poles and one lamp post torn right out of the ground.

Big ass branches fell down on marine drive close to fraser at the lanes close to the sidewalk, had to swerve to avoid them :heckno:

My place never lost power in Richmond. Lots of Richmond is without power though for most of the day.

careful doing 4 way stops in richmond, so many drivers blowing pass intersections

Power back in the point grey kits area.

Is anyone's Shaw down right now?

My Shaw box is displaying the 'No IP' message. This was after a power surge during the wind storm. I'm not sure if it's on my end or Shaw's end.
