BC Hydro spokesperson Bob Gammer says  the windstorm   saw numerous trees  come in contact with  hydro lines.  Crews are  busy trying to remove the debris.

Winid?

    I thank you for the note.
    It is not so much a spelling error as it is a typo.
    While our program does pick up typos in the body of a story, it doesn’t do so in a headline. As you all know, when you have written the story and you know what it SHOULD say, your mind skips over the obvious.

Please Elaine, your spelling would get a fail grade as of late….. It kinda wrecks the story being told.

Really! Spelling is the issue? Some people have too much time on their hands!

Living Water………. It takes a lot of effort to get the news out as fast a possible. The odd spelling mistake is going to happen and is not a big deal. Dont you have something better to do than insult the hard working folks. Oh, and If I have mispelled something here please be sure to point it out..

lol…age of the internet, spelling police, gotta point out your superiority to the world through a pseudonym

I forgive you ;) Sure was a gooder of a storm :)

I cnduo’t bvleiee taht I culod aulaclty uesdtannrd waht I was rdnaieg. Unisg the icndeblire pweor of the hmuan mnid, aocdcrnig to rseecrah at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno’t mttaer in waht oderr the lterets in a wrod are, the olny irpoamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rhgit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whoutit a pboerlm. Tihs is bucseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey ltteer by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Aaznmig, huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghhuot slelinpg was ipmorantt! See if yuor fdreins can raed tihs too.

Good one Carpenter to remember when writing a job application or a master’s degree thesis! :-)

wind or did hydro rempotely shut off the power so they could sell it elsewhere for more?

YES…they can shut of the new smart meters remotely….
but they would NeVeR do that…no not them!

One comment was related to the story and that from a conspiracy theorist. Slow day for everyone, including me, apparently. Think they will shut off the gas next BCracer to sell to China?

Lol.

I love the comment Carpenter. I’ve read of that before and seen an email written like that but not quite so obviously misspelled as the comment you left…

That was well done.

There is a distinct difference between a spelling error and a typo.

Conspiracy theory works, Huh, especially since I have been up since 5 AM and I haven’t seen any sign of wind…
And Hydro in the past has been on occaison, in my opinion, anything but forthcoming…

and you might want to chech out what I said and you will find that they can in fact shut of your power , remotely , anytime they feel like it.

so my suggestion is not all that hokey or implausable.

I heard BC Hydro caused the wind storm and planned the whole thing! It’s true! I read it on the internet!

Well, I guess if you think selling power from 300 households really makes any sense anything is possible.

Carpenter: You got me laughing out loud. Well read, too.

Johnny, yer not supposed to insult people on here! Yer just as bad as Carpenter, laughing more!

Conspiracy theorists are funny, what can I say?

Let’s make this Friday’s free for all a conspiracy theory special then. (:

I have heard that police can use smart meters to listen in on coverstions through electrical outlets.

Listen that way yes, and watch you in the living room from the camera inside your smart Tv at the same time.

Give you head a shake bcracer
