This was a wind storm. It wasn't an earthquake. They are completely different events on other worldly scales.

Yet, everyone complaining was ill-prepared. Earthquake, Severe Wind, Flooding, oil pipeline rupture, etc. You're supposed to be prepared for 72 hours.

The Surrey Food bank lost power and that was entirely the fault of the City of Surrey not telling BC Hydro that it was on the priority list.
I'm sorry if home-business people aren't at the top of the list, but I have little sympathy for those that are operating a business and don't even have the most basic emergency supplies.
On the plus side BC Hydro got some actual use out of the Smart Meter monitoring, so they shouldn't have needed to handle 710,000 outage calls.
