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. |

Yup, now this is getting stupid. Figured I'd wake up to the power being on... But no. hydro estimates 12:30 am Monday morning. Never in 40 years of living in the lower mainland has power ever been off for 36 hours. Mind blowing. Starting to think there's going to be some serious casualties here.

My tanks at 72 degrees! How long will my coral be ok like this? Damn!
I do have a battery powered air pump supplying oxegen though so im less concerned about that. Reefers, go to a fishing tackle shop and buy a battery bubbler for a fish holding tank (live well).2 D batteries and mines been bubbling for 24 hours now... |

If you have a propane or butane burner, take some water (either fw or sw from your tank), heat it up in a ceramic corning ware container or some other inert material pot and add it slowly to your sump to warm up the tank slowly.
However, 72 F is not too bad yet. |

Getting texts from members reporting losses in their tanks. This is going to end badly. Power has been out for 27 hours now in poco.

People need back up plans power outages are gonna happen eventually,I own a small generator for this exact reason still never used it but sure feel more comfortable when we are having crazy weather like yesterday. Hope everybody gets power back soon.
