Episode Details

One bolt likely hit the Kitsilano substation, triggering an automatic safety shutdown to protect the grid. BC Hydro crews responded swiftly, restoring power by 9:30 AM. With more storms forecast for the weekend, residents are reminded to stay weather-aware as Mother Nature’s mood swings continue.
