Do you know the difference between an Evacuation Alert and an Evacuation Order?

ALERT: Be ready to leave on short notice
ORDER: Leave the area immediately
RESCIND: The threat to life and safety has passed

Sad to see Marc Garneau, Canada's first astronaut has passed away.

After 36 years of service, a new chapter begins #CAF #RCN

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

@Plan_Prep_Live I don't think so. There is fairly good mitigation to reduce the chance of fake ballots.

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

@Plan_Prep_Live It was a big wakeup... I was on a video chat with a co-student doing the emergency management course... they saw my Webcam shake

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

@JupiterSkull88 @EmergencyInfoBC Lol... I live near the Bridge on Chemainus road.. so we often get shaking when large trucks cross... but I don't recall feeling anything last night when this happened

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

Just over 5 cm and visibility down to 500 m in #LadysmithBC / #Saltair area #bcstorm #bcsnow

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

After almost 30 hours, we have power again. Just in time for the next storm.

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

22 hours without power... the house is starting to get a little cool... we might have power back for the storm on Friday #LadysmithBC #BCStorm

[EmergencyInfoBC @EmergencyInfoBC]

EMERGENCY ALERT TEST TODAY.
At 1:55 p.m. (PST) today a test of the #BC Emergency Alert system will occur. An alert tone & test message will be sent to cell phones, radio & TV. Learn more: https://t.co/tQNokGTZ51

@Plan_Prep_Live Thank you, that would be nice... at least the storm hit this week, and not next week when I start my masters program for Disaster and Emergency Management. 😅

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

Now 12 hours without power. It appears that the worst of the storm has passed #BCStormWatch #BCStorm #Ladysmith

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

@Plan_Prep_Live @bchydro Nice, we're still waiting, as of half hour ago, no crews assigned

[Brad604 @Brad604]

Wind gusts near the centre of this low look to be up over 180kmh...
That rivals it with wind speeds you'd hear from a Category 3 Tropical Hurricane...

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

Going to be a long night, our dog is not happy with the wind, and power could be out for a while... time to read and charge the phone...

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

And there goes the power in #Saltair #LadysmithBC #BCStorm

[Patrick Fisher @cdnfish]

Lights are starting to flicker in #LadysmithBC #BCStorm #BCStormWatch
