Power outage on Gambier

As of 11pm november 11th there is a power-outage on Gambier right now due to the large wind storm (40knots now, due to be 50knots tonight!). I am not sure how wide-spread it is, but it is for sure out in Center Bay.

This means that the G.R.I.P. Network in West Bay Landing will be inaccessible until BC Hydro gets power back up, clients connected to the Center Bay repeater station will find the G.R.I.P. Network will be unpredictably up and down... depending on how much gas we have for out generator!

G.R.I.P. Network members connected to the main tower at Hope Point will *not* be effected by this outage as the Hope Point station is self-powered.

From the Marine forecast it looks like the storm will not be fully abated until tuesday, so it may take BC Hydro a while to restore power.

Hope you all survive this first big storm of winter with no damage!
