Prince George, B.C. - It may be 6 tonight before hydro has been restored to an area east of Foothills Boulevard in Prince George.

The power has been off since around 8 this morning. The outage has left 1500 customers without power, and resulted in the closure of three schools.

Foothills elementary, Heritage, and D.P.Todd won't re-open until tomorrow morning.

The cause of the outage remains under investigation. The outage is impacting the area west of Trader Crescent, south of Clare Crescent, east of Foothills Boulevard and north of Bowron Crescent.

I bet the clean air fairies lost a few supporters in that neighbourhood. That is the reason why, when I built I made sure that I had allowance for bio combustion chamber.

You see, no electric power no furnace.

compared with the BC hydro site, says midnight as time power is estimated to be restored.

It's like the weather. It will happen when it happens.

Bio combustion? You using personal methane? Careful of flash fires and the smell of singed hair. :-)
