We're dealing with some stormy weather here (Vancouver for me, but it covers a wider area) and so a patchwork of homes across the region are having power outages. Crews are working to restore it

So on that note, what do you like to do?

  • ways to prepare, what to buy, a favourite flashlight from [email protected]?
  • how you pass the time
  • any stories that come to mind?

We're good! It came back on for us earlier. The crews are working hard out there

Beauty news -- they do prioritize well, at least. My work group (remote) still has a peer out in Sooke with issues, but that's a lot of greenspace and loooong cables. CobbleHill just came up as well. Islander communities will be out the longest, but the BCHydro map will get rid of most of those measles by day's end I think. I think they're doing well in a bad situation, but I have the luxury of saying so in comfort, so Grain of Salt and all.

Agreed, the map made it seem like a lot of separate incidents were all happening at the same time. I'm impressed with how efficiently they're working through it all
