We survived 119 hours without power. (1.Viewing)

---

Does that include WHC?

Did they have back up generators that worked for 5 days?


All the people with Electric cars that needed top ups were probably snookered.
Be a long time before I go electric, love my gasoline motorcycles and cars, they do what I want, when I want.

Longest i have been without power was around 30 hours during the 2013 ice storm. 119 hours: I can't even imagine it.

No. As a matter of fact, I was there with the family on Thursday to warm and charge up and worked from the office yesterday too.

I didn't; my UPS lasted two hours ;-) but Cable internet was down anyways. Mobile internet and cell phone service. was affected for four days in the West Island.

WHC's servers were not affected; they also have backup power and generators if it's needed.

Gas pumps need electricity. Many of them were out of service during this "event" here, too.

While I didn't live in Canada, I also managed to be visiting for the big Ice Storm in 1998, but I can't recall how long we were out of power then, it was more of an adventure. We tried to go skiing in the US at that time but turned around halfway.
