Blaaah. Almost got out of work today, but no luck. Power was out on Bowen yesterday so we took off down to the mainland. Mom and I went downtown and did some shopping and saw "Death at a Funeral" which is hilarious, btw. Alan Tudyk is fantastic. :) Anyway, this morning Mom called BC Hydro and was told that Bowen was still off, so I figured "yay, no work!" but called the credit union just in case and dammit but my supervisor answered and told me that they have power and are open. Woe. So, off to the ferry in about half an hour... still not sure if it's off at home; if so, will just come back down to N Van (parents staying down here tonight anyway). It's okay being down here, I guess - least we have power. But it's kinda weird being in this house - so familiar, but it's not quite home anymore. Especially due to the piles of boxes in my room and the weird TV set shit in the living room. -_- It also smells.

*looks at clock* 40 min til I should leave... booored. Coulda slept in. :(

I hope that was the worst of it. The winds were heading in the southwest direction so the Interior got hit pretty hard; North Van got off rather easy (although a tree went down in our courtyard), but West Van had it bad, I hear. There is supposed to be another storm this week, unfortunately.

The climate has been changing for the worse over the years, it seems. Hopefully it's a cyclic thing.

I'm sure we'll get more... hopefully not too bad. But I imagine our power up there will go off a few more times at least. :( Glad we have this house for those times. From what I hear, the power in our area is still off (although sadly the cove wasn't, hence going to work. wah.) and will be until tomorrow night maybe.. Yikes, glad we're down here. Good timing, really.
