Random: News Report on Vancouver
Man, I really hope the show isn't doing any location shoots in the downtown Vancouver area right now.
Power's out in downtown Vancouver
Apparently there was an underground explosion and fire. No huge destruction or stuff like that, it's not a major disaster, but the power's out.
According to the news, this happened at 9 AM this morning and it took 12 hours to clear the fumes from the area for BC Hydro (power company) to get in and assess the situation. A major line of 14 cables has to be completely replaced. They estimate two or three days to get power back. About 3000 customers are out including huge office buildings, hotels, and apartments, I think they said on the news, as well as water pumps, traffic signals, and the electric trolley lines for parts of the transit system are all out.
Seriously though, the downtown Vancouver area's going to be a truly scary place (more so than usual) tonight and for the next few nights while they're in the dark. I hope anyone who's there is okay and keeps safe.
