Lights Out – City Shut Off
Thursday, May 1, 2008 15:19 | 270 viewsLast night I went to check the city cams and saw…well…nothing. The power was shut off on my side of the city.
I have to head out to the bank and hopefully there’s power there!
It’s really windy outside and I was planning on taking some pictures, so I may or may not. I’ll bring the camera with me anyway.
I just finished watching some news footage and WOW! I’m wondering if I can actually get to my bank now!
The flooding is getting pretty bad here in town.
I’ll post more info later.
UPDATE:
I was just going to comment on Corey’s comment, but thought it would best be put here.
I just got back from taking a shit load of video and pictures (Will post as soon as I edit video)
The bank was dry, but shut down. I was able to use the ATM though.
I took video and pictures from the Armories to the walking trail bridge, it was flooded in the intersection behind the playhouse, and up around Brunswick street where it was also flooded.
All the buildings in the area were running pumps to get the water out of their basements. All you can hear is the motors from the pumps running in the city.
Lord Beaverbrook Hotel was closed. They booted all their customers out.
The art building was also closed. I hope they emptied their basement!

There’s a lot of water down town, but places like Woodstock Rd are still high and dry (took a drive at lunch), but the city hall cam shows the same amount of water as earlier – to their back doors, so you should be able to ge tto your bank. Westmoreland was dry all the way up this morning.

I took a few more pics tonight, as the light in the sky was pretty. They’re in the same gallery.

Nice additions. I had to laugh at the sucker who bought them Riverfront Condos. Think you’re so special now huh, you smug yuppies!

At least the builder had the good sense to bring in some fill and perch them on top of it. So, only their basements are flooded. I can’t believe that people pay as much as they do for these glorified apartments.
