Effective today, I'm no longer using X for day-to-day communications. I will be keeping the account active in case of urgent matters. You can find me over at BlueSky and on Facebook. The best way to reach me is always by email at knodalemerivale@ottawa.ca.

So far power appears to be back on in Trend Arlington and Craig Henry. I’m monitoring the Hydro Ottawa Outage Map to see what areas remain out. Hydro has told me the outage was due to temporary loss of supply from the provincial grid.

Hey Ward 9, there’s another power outage in Knoxdale-Merivale, this time affecting my neighborhood of Trend-Arlington. I’m without WIFI right now so my abilities to monitor and communicate are limited. Please tag me if your power is out so that I can get a sense of the scale.

RT @hydroottawa: POWER RESTORED: Power has been restored to customers in College, Knoxsdale-Merivale and Barrhaven East. If your power is s….

Power appears to have been restored to all of the outages affecting Ward 9. Thanks @hydroottawa for your quick work. Now, I'm just crossing my fingers that all of our friends and neighbours in Barrhaven get the same quick solution.

RT @torpedobrenda: @DevineSean Power back on Eleanor Drive.

RT @Greenguyyell1: @DevineSean Power is back 👍.

RT @LilShizammy: @DevineSean @hydroottawa It's back on Mr. Devine!.

I am now hearing that power is back on in parts of Fisher Heights, and near Merivale Mall, from four different households. I'll keep checking the outage map, which is updated every 15 minutes.

Connected with Hydro Ottawa. There are crews on call 24/7, so they've been dispatched. No news yet on cause, but this could be many things: damage from a vehicle, a fallen branch, an animal, construction. As it's not a system-wide outage, let's hope it's repaired before 2:30am.

The @hydroottawa Outage Map just got updated. There are 2 large outages covering much of Ward 9 and Barrhaven, totaling more than 11k customers. Currently, power restoration is expected for 2:30am. No info yet on cause of outage. I've written to my contacts at Hydro for info.

I'm getting notices about a power outage in the Fisher Heights / Parkwood Hills area, starting just about 10 minutes ago. There's nothing up on @hydroottawa Outage Map just yet. I'll post update ASAP.

Testing.

RT @ottawacity: A second major winter event is headed toward Ottawa. A winter weather parking ban will be in effect tomorrow, February 16,….

Okay, it’s back on here in Trend-Arlington but I’m now seeing report of a far wider outage.

There’s a sudden @hydroottawa power outage in the Trend-Arlington area (including my neighborhood). I’m looking into it, but I don’t have any info at the moment.

Yes, it’s critical that these elections (provincial and federal) address choices for who’s best to lead against threats from the U.S. But just as important - if not more so - these elections must address the state of health care in Canada and here in Ontario.
