F'n Copy Cat


Kammie land and its residents are constantly envious of what we have out in lotus land however, this is going too far. Trying to emulate yesterday's Hydro fire in downtown Vancouver I see the following from CBC online.....

Explosion knocks out power for thousands in Kamloops



About 25,000 BC Hydro customers in Kamloops were without power after an explosion at a substation knocked out power to most of the city around 7:30 a.m. PT Tuesday.

No one is believed to have been hurt in the blast, which occurred as hydro crews were inside the substation.

Power to most customers in the B.C. Interior city was restored by about 9 a.m.

Meanwhile, in Vancouver about 1,000 customers were still without power after an underground fire shutdown power to a large area of the downtown core. There is no indication the two events are related.

ya cause having no power is super fun. Though showering by candlelight is kinda neat.

The best part was the yokel who described the explosion to the 'Mighty NL' as a 'mushroom cloud.'

Oh yeah - glorious Westsyde was spared as the rest of the town scrambled

A mushroom cloud. That's classic. As good as the politician that equated Hurricane Katrina to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
