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.

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.

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
