Not a good thing to happen when I'm thousands of miles away in England. Fingers crossed!

You sure they said minutes not hours??

Because I am still blowing air into my tank at almost 2:30am

Still no power. No point calling hydro cuz they just lie and tell you what you want to hear. No power in my tank and I'm heading out for a 4 day fishing trip right now. Just have to trust my kid sister to take care of things. Such an uneasy feeling. Hoping for the best

Estimated that the lower mainland at its peak 540,000 were without power

I know how it is to lose power try going a week without it really really sucks but ever since I started running UPS and now have a generator I have not lost my power in years the irony of it all

Yup still no power and est. time is for 8:00pm for power back on. Unfortunately I'm on a ferry heading to the island so I won't see the aftermath till I get home in four days. All I can do is pray

Wow
This is a horrible situation that you guys are in!
I would be freaking out! SERIOUSLY FREACKING OUT
I think I will seriously plan for an event like this as 90% of the time I work out of town.
Best of luck to all of you reefers on the west coast.
