Power's Out, but we're online!

20 Nov 2024

Big storm today off the BC West Coast, they call it a "bomb cyclone" Grimacing 

Thankfully we had power through most of the storm, but it did just drop offline an hour ago.

The good news is... the battery backups are working to keep us connected. We're online, and the emergency land-line phone is working too.

All thanks to element14!
And their shopping cart prizes Slight smile

So many outages across BC today Grimacing 

Power Outages Across BC

Oh, and as I type this, the power came back on - about an hour of down-time.
That's an advantage of being close to the airport - we're on the same sub-grid as them, and I think they get high priority service! Slight smile

ps, SuperArtGirl did appreciate the convenience Sweat smile

    You are quite luckier than us in India. If we have situation like that such as cyclone or similar then the power restoration takes minimum 3 to maximum 30 days in some areas...!! could you imagine we are…

    We knew the Pacific had been too quiet most of the summer, so you are getting the first edge of what could be an active winter season.

    I purchased a whole house generator so that I would always have power.

    It gets to run several times each year.

    I have found it to be one of my best investments.

    Great news!  Hang in there and hopefully this will pass.  Our daughter lives in Portland, and so far, so good.

    My power was going out so much from falling tree limbs, I got a generator.  First snow here today.
