Power outage

wtf was that.

what a tease…its like when the teacher is late at school, everyone is trying to figure out how long we have to stay before we can ditch without being admonished…sonofabitch.

YA what the hell was that? Did like some bird smack into power station?

Duuude, my very very old UPS stayed on!

top - 14:40:56 up 83 days, 6:12, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.10, 0.09
Tasks: 71 total, 1 running, 70 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.7% user, 0.3% system, 0.0% nice, 99.0% idle

menino’s uptime is saved.

There was a brief outage in Terrace and Kitimat as well. I wonder what happened??

Weird…

It was lightning strikes on the power lines somewhere around Prince George.

The bird explodeing would have been cooler to see.

Lightning hit a transformer near PG.

Just goes to show how truely vulnerable we are up here I guess…

HUH?

i heard a power out was caused by a bird getting electricuted on the radio, but i didnt hear where, and all the power in up here on van island

As in one well placed lightning strike can cut power to that many communities at the same time.

How about one mistake taking out the entire East Coast (including New York and Toronto)?

that was the americans fault

Yes, the point is that “how truely vulnerable we are up here” doesn’t apply.
