Well shit. Looks like there is a power outage on my street.

Well for a minute anyway.

And its down again. This is fun!

 

[firehawk12]

There must be many weebs in Toronto, because Aniplex added a whole week of Madoka Magica screenings at Yonge and Dundas after Boxing Day. I think I might as well experience big screen Shaft one more time.

 

[shadowkat]

Welp. My power's out.

 

[Kave_Man]

Power went out for about 30 seconds up here in Thornhill. It's been fine now for over an hour.

edit: Lights are flickering like crazy now.

 

[Roto13]

Disturbing Toronto street scene: every house has inflatable giant Santa- as many behind me as in front

Yikes

 

[firehawk12]

Not creepy at all!

 

[shadowkat]

Woo! Power's back.

and that inflatable Santa street is disturbing.

 

[Stet]

Yikes

loooooool

 

[Kraftwerk]

Some chick almost broke her jaw downtown slipping...but I have to say, takes a special kind of genius to be out right now and walking in high heels. Jesus Christ...

 

[jstripes]

Power's out in my area of Scarborough.

Fun times.

 

[cbox]

Ughhh half my tree already fell in the backyard an a few are listing dangerously close to my car, which is effectively frozen solid. Tomorrow morning should be fun...

 

[Fugu]

So many flashes of blue light tonight. Must be hell to be a transformer.

 

[criesofthepast]

Power still out at Royal York & Eglinton since 1am.

Goddamn cp24 says it could take 72 hours for full restoration? Kill me.

 

[zorbsie]

Power has been out since 11pm yesterday. Ugh. Calling Toronto hydro is just a waste of time. At least the sun is coming up.

 

[zroid]

I would go out to take some photos of this madness, but my door is jammed shut LOL

(PS my power blinked overnight, but it hasn't been out for any length of time)

 

[chaobreaker]

I slept through an outage in my neighbourhood near Don Mills and Eglinton yesterday. My night owl lifestyle is starting to look good right now.

 

[zroid]

 

[Kave_Man]

Woke up to some trees knocked over on my street. Haven't seen it like this in a while.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Ottawa da best.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Trees down everywhere

 

[Coldnoodle]

That's some 1998 ice storm shit.

 

[Kave_Man]

That's my next door neighbour. Our tree looks like it could fall at any moment.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Icy around here but not too bad. Didn't have an outage.

Doesn't help people are using up electricity on...inflatable santas...?

 

[zroid]

yikes with the downed trees, didn't get that bad around here

 

[mr.rager]

Pretty icy around my area (border of Mississauga and Etobicoke) but no major problems. Had power all night and no flickering.

That Santa street is pretty creepy but in a awesome way.

Someone find out what the inflatable Santas look like covered in ice.

 

[Eleuin]

Had power until around 9 today

72hrs? :/

Outage map for the city of Mississauga. Looks like my house barely made it out lol. According to the map, people down my street have no power.

 

[krae_man]

My power is out too

 

[Magnus]

It's an icy fucking wonderland outside right now. You could skate down the street. Trees are down everywhere. I didn't think we had lightning or severe winds with this storm, just frost. What's caused all the trees to fall?

The weight of the ice on the branches.

Weight of the ice.

I have power but no internet. How will I survive?

 

[shadowkat]

Well, my power is out again.

Going outside in a bit to clear off my car.

 

[zroid]

I'm definitely stupid because I'm still planning to see Hobbit 2 today at Empress Walk (only place in the GTA to see it in IMAX+HFR).

Spoiler

my old friend is visiting for the holidays and today's the last day he's available to hang out

 

[krae_man]

Weight of the ice.

Mobile GAF to the rescue. My power is down so I'll survive as long as my phone still has battery left.

 

[Cactus]

I had to slide home from the bus stop last night. The guy who got off the bus before me took a flip when he stepped onto the sidewalk.

 

[Zombie James]

Had a few short bursts without power but seems like it didn't go down overnight. Ugh, a 72 hour wait sounds like hell, sorry to hear it.

 

[HyperCubed4]

Pisses me off that High Park has power and I live JUST off of Runnymede. At least I have Pokemon.

._.

 

[Fugu]

Over at my mom's place (Meadowvale, Mississauga) it's hell. One of the roads near her house is covered in downed trees and is basically impassable.

 

[Sober]

So anyone on Mobilicity have any reception? Dead here for me in Markham.

While we were driving around, my friend got reception in Richmond Hill (around yonge/7 area), but nothing at home in Markham or in North York.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Mobilicity down for my mother and wife.

Rogers is ok for me.

Asked in Icemageddon thread too: anybody skipping out on work tomorrow.

Playing by ear. Not sure if TTC will be running at a decent pace.

Working half day tomorrow, debating whether or not I should go. Leaning towards going just cause my job is too easy.

 

[Fuzzy]

Saw this on twitter earlier.

 

[zroid]

can't wait to leave you guys behind in this icy hell. on wednesday morning, I'm outta this damn country

Spoiler

for a week

 

[jokkir]

I can't tell if Wind is down of if it's just the area I'm in.

It was working earlier though. No power back in my area yet, I think

 

[BigJonsson]

Wind seems to be down =/

It was working fine until night time =/


Wind is back.......and right away get the automatic top up text message lol

 

[The Elite]

Pisses me off that High Park has power and I live JUST off of Runnymede. At least I have Pokemon.

._.

I live down the hill and across from the park. No power.

 

[Kave_Man]

I just came back from downtown and saw Yorkdale station and North York Civic Centre stations are down.

Any reason for this?

Can I hope beyond hope that when I go into work tomorrow at North York Civic they turn me home because all the power is gone there?
