200K+ Without Power In Toronto Going on 72hrs Most likely no power until this weekend.

We went whitby how bout you?

Yeah some places are ridiculous........... Some lines stretch onto the Sidewalk

My Aunt and Uncle who are in Scarborough just got in to a car accident because some of the roads were still slicked. They have no power. My parents are North Pickering (Claremont), which was badly hit and rural and were just told by the end of the weekend. We are North Oshawa, but even pockets here have no power. One parent who lives in a high-rise in East York, still has no power.

The hydro companies have stated they are trying to get larger pockets of people up before they deal with individual homes, so depending on where you are located , who knows when you will be up and running again.

The Tards who make those comments about not being prepared don't seem to understand you can't do much in a high-rise, other than try to find a warming centre or another place to stay. Most hotels are completely booked from people staying there to stay warm.

There have already been a few deaths from people trying to stay warm bringing bbq's into their home and dying from Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Another part of a family who did have a generator placed it in their attached garage, not realizing that the Carbon Monoxide leaked into the home killing two of the family members and sending the rest to hospital.

There are trees still falling from the weight of the ice. With the temperature getting colder it isn't helping. They are also calling for more wind and snow, which means even more damage. It is fuk'd here.

Jesus Christ!!! I hope your aunt and uncle aren't injured to badly.

lol fair enough it was doom when my chocolate milk went bad but i drank it anyway it was cold enough in my room to be a fridge

You've got a case of the shits headed your way.

its that crack smoking mayors fault , he should have stayed with high THC sativa weed . God is angry that he strayed away from the two trees of paradise, indica and sativa .

No god isn't smiting him, because these are great photo ops and he's basically kicking off his campaign early by getting out to residents.

Rob Ford hasn't done shit. He was MIA all Sunday morning and only got briefed by staff 5 minutes before the press conference. He didn't want to declare a state of emergency because that would have meant giving up his power, even probably close to a million people didn't have heat/electricity. (300 000 customers = at least 750 000 to 100 000 since one customer could be an apartment building with 1000 people in it, or a family of five.

Also Ford has no idea what a state of emergency is. He thought the whole city would shut down...not transit and the KanyeWest concert would be cancelled. Lol he is such a moron.

Luckily the Deputy mayor (who is mostly in charge now) bypassed Ford and started working with the premier to get extra personnel/crews/supplies.

Just got word from my parents in North York, their power is back on! Tonight was night 4, it's currently 4°F, -7°F with the windchill . I'm starting to forget what it was like in the "before times"

1 million people in Toronto alone with no power:

I'm canadian and play hockey outdoors in these conditions. man the fuck up you are making us look bad. its not all that bad pussyhole and you probably were the first to get power back. please nobody listen to thia whiny little bitch. we are fine

Praying for all those who are still without power. Hope neighbors are working together to get through this.

Just got power back to my house (Pickering) after being out since 2am on Sunday. My house was 42C (5F) this morning, and thankfully I've been at work on a backup generator for my servers. As serious as this is, I can only laugh at my situation as I happened to be watching Star Trek: Into Darkness when all of a sudden.... DARKNESS happened. However that said, this is a bad situation for all.

I feel very bad for the elderly and the young as they are most vulnerable to the cold. However, that said, we must remember that we live in Canada and it gets very cold here, and we must be prepared for the worst at any point in time. I blame myself for not being prepared for this, and going forward will start to get my preps in order. I still have family and friends out, and we have attempted to get them into our house for warmth and the ultimate Christmas movie, Die Hard! But, some won't. That's fine. Tomorrow they may change their mind as they will be down anyways.

There is no point in getting mad at the city or hydro workers, as I'm very thankful for the work that they are performing to get everyone back to the comforts that we are "used" to. Massive thanks to those working, and still working on this issue. Hell, they are even flying others in out of province to help out. They must be commended on that, as they are giving up their Christmas and families to help out.

This is a learning lesson to be prepared, and I hope those that had no power learn from this, as I have. Those that had power, maybe another time, or perhaps that they too will learn. Stay safe and warm folks.

breath of fresh air you are... what a fuckin pussy..he's virtual crying and its pathetic

what couldn't finish your fuckin movie you fat pos..I was outside getting excercises play hockey...fuckin useless tool...please don't listen to these stories...us real canadians laugh at this shit. this dude is some 3rd world immigrant

Actually you gearbox, I live right on a bay and grew up playing hockey till we couldn't see the puck because it was so damn dark. Skates hard as a rock and toes so numb that I could walk on tacks and not feel pain. The cold doesn't bother me one bit as I need a hot cloth to shut my window because my bedroom window is open in the winter. Literally ice is jammed the window open.

Actually, yes, I did finish the movie and was prepared to go play a playoff hockey game in the morning, and then train at my gym after. But, sadly, they were both closed and I hung out with the family. Thanks for jumping to conclusion like the typical keyboard warrior you seem to be.

My life doesn't get put on hold because of this shit, but I can see that others can't handle this type of event. Is that my problem. Nope, not at all. But at least I can appreciate the work of others to get those in need to a comfortable state of mind.

Im starting to think you might be right about that.

Something similar happened here a few years back. The gf and i were stuck in our apartment, no fireplace. We cleared the living room, put up the tent, we rationed, lived like settlers and fucked like bunnies for days. It was AWESOME. We didnt wait for others to help. We did what we had to do to survive, and it wasnt that hard. Must be the pioneer dna we inherited.

Fuck, didnt we all learn how to make igloos when we were young? What about you OP?

It's cold here in Bangkok too, down to about 65 F in the mornings!

honestly? fuckin pussy

yea man when did people become so damn soft? did you not know you were living in fuckin Canada?

Oh ok Heo thanking the crew that get paid very well I might add to do thier fuckin job. Clap clap for you caption obvious cause nobody else wouldve ever thanked them. the whole city is in your debt. Fuck off you play hockey and If you did you were one of those bitches who cried when they got hit. I can just tell by the way you bitch about numb toes...pfff fuckin pussynever In my life have I ever stated such a gay thing

In fact youre not really canadian until you get frostnip ear swelling at least once and learn how to deal with the cold. Fingers so cold, the only way to warm them is to stick them in your armpits.

What the fuck is wrong with kids these days?

Here is where you should stop posting, because your stupidity, as evident by your grammar, really shows.

Most of the shit that you say, I agree with you, yet you have failed to realize that by reading my post. People are soft like Cottonelle nowadays, and yes, they are dependent on the grid for power. If this was a rural area, things would be different, but it's not. So, I'm thankful that these crews are out here, because like you stated earlier, there are savages out there willing to put others at risk by attempting to keep warm. The faster they get the grid up, the faster those people prevent the chaos that they are willing to create for themselves, and possibly others.

You want to play hockey tomorrow? How about boxing day? Come meet me on the bay, and bring a helmet so you don't lose a tooth when the "Gordie" special hits your chin when you try to grab the puck of me. Or, will you be joining those that you mock at your nearest shopping mall to be culled.

Hell, I'll even bring the beer.

Not at all you weren't in Scarborough i got my power 5 am Christmas morning. You were probably in the yuppie/jew area who got their power within hours of it happening fuckface.:youreafag:

Nice good to hear !

Didnt cry once :youreafag:

Tell this fucking choad!!!
