From bc hydro
Approximately 124,000 customers in northern BC are out of service due to a transmission outage caused by a suspected lightning strike. Affected communities run north and west of Prince George including Vanderhoof, Smithers, Fort St John, Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Hudsons Hope, Houston and Burns Lake. Restoration efforts are under way and we expect to have the majority of customers on within the next few hours. Thank you for your patience.
