We’re dealing with some stormy weather here (Vancouver for me, but it covers a wider area) and so a patchwork of homes across the region are having power outages. Crews are working to restore it

So on that note, what do you like to do?

  • ways to prepare, what to buy, a favourite flashlight from !flashlight@lemmy.world?
  • how you pass the time
  • any stories that come to mind?

    We only have the big transmission lines above ground, so our grid is not that weather sensitive. A week would be insane here

      They should here too but everything is privatized. The company that has a monopoly is only focused on short term profits for their stock investors.

      I live downtown in a city next to a hospital and city hall. A few years ago I wouldn’t have ever expected power outages lasting up to a week. Climate change and poor infrastructure.
