BC Hydro crews were busy today (Oct 23) as more than two thousand customers in the Cariboo were without power at one point.
The wind was the main suspect, and in some cases trees were down across power lines.
There were just over 600 customers without power in Quesnel.
Dave Mosure, BC Hydro Community Relations Coordinator, goes over the two that impacted the most people.
“The largest one went off at 1-02 this afternoon impacting 347 customers. That one is located east of MacDnald Road, south of Lust Road and west of Keith Road. The next largest one went off at 12-47 p.m., 231 customers on that, that is west of Long Bar Road, South of Paradise Road and North of Nazko Road.”
Outages were also reported from the 25-hundred to 26-hundred block of Peters Road and the 33-hundred to 35-hundred block of Paradise Road, as well as on the 0 to 600 block of Pinnacles Sub Road, and there are small outages north of Bear Valley Road and east and west of Bastin Road, and on Healy Street.
BC Hydro also reported that almost 14-hundred customers are without power in the Williams Lake are, with the largest being north and south of Black Creek Road.
The 100 Mile House area was hit the least hardest as there were just 5 customers without power north of Mcneil Place and South of Horse Lake Road.
