@SnowyCA I hope so too.
So far, the Greater Montréal was mostly spared. But it is spreading.

@EdwinG that was a quick change

@EdwinG that was a quick change
@SnowyCA Yeah… Ottawa just got hit with 7000 customers losing power in 10 minutes.
I’m going to keep track for about an hour or so, as long as I have hydro

@EdwinG
hopefully you will be spared the outage. You don't have a generator? -
@EdwinG
hopefully you will be spared the outage. You don't have a generator?@SnowyCA No, not allowed. I live in a condo unit.
I have a couple UPS (uninterruptible power supplies… batteries), but they last about 20-60 minutes.

@EdwinG I forgot you're in a condo,
Batteries lasting only 20-60 minutes? We need to find you a better alternative -

@SnowyCA I do have plans A, B and C (and probably D) in case I need to leave my home.
Those people don’t necessarily live nearby, so we’re unlikely to be all affected by the same disruption.

@EdwinG Good to know you plan ahead. ....are *they* aware of your exit strategy?

Batteries lasting only 20-60 minutes? We need to find you a better alternative@SnowyCA It’s the load that’s on it that determines how long they last.
The 60 minute one have my direct Internet equipment and a light. The 20 minute one has my laptop, my two servers and WiFi antenna.
It’s there for an orderly power off, not to last days

@SnowyCA They’re the ones that texted me
Also, unlikely to call at 3a unless something else happens (happened once, in 2014, at 9p)

@EdwinG That's not too bad then.
For a days long outage, we need to find you balcony solar or a mini wind turbine
