Power outages at multiple schools. Rain/windstorm 120 km/h!

[@TheJakeman789]

Really ridiculous for gas stations to not have emergency generator. They have plenty of fuel to run them.

[@mikeross880]

Awesome adventure you two. What a stormy day that was, if I remember correctly out at the coast where you guys were storm watching it topped at about 129k at its peak. Then it snowed 2 days after and I believe that’s about the time your school’s pipes burst. What a big start to 2024. And yes MC Hammer and Fleetwood Mac were pretty big when Jamie and myself were growing up.

[@leafmk]

Holy that's so crazy! Keep up the good work, Nic.

On January 25, 2024 - January 29, 2024. I just got inspecting and repairing emergency lighting at a store in California. On Sunday February 4, 2024 a similar storm had hit California. Knocking out power up 500,000 electric customers through out the entire state. Including at the store. I just repaired the emergency lighting. I was happy I was able get a real power outage to inspect my own work. After all I had a fire inspection the next day. From the Fire Marshall. I did passed that part of inspection the next day with no problem.

[@boredreindeer5602]

What kind does the store use?

[@Williams_elektronik]

in gothenburg it can rain so mutch that you cant see the road 33ms=120km/h

[@ElevatorsWithOwen]

That wind speed is about the same as a category 1 hurricane. Damn

Canada's coast is Soo beautiful to be honest

That is for sure both coasts are beautiful

This is an interesting video. I live in the Boston area. There has been a lot of coastal flooding here this winter.

[@boredreindeer5602]

Around the 12:17 mark there’s a small red light on the ceiling, is that just a reflection from the flashlight? Or what is it for?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Red reflective tape

Why did the van chime three times at 5:48?

[@darrenw2803]

that sounded like a seat belt chime

it's starting to get windy here in Seattle too. great vidieo!

Your videos are always entertaining to watch and very educational. Nice to see sometimes I notice the provincial flag. :) Always nice seeing another view of our province. Keep up the good work.

My power also went out from this exact storm

[@wibwabz]

do you have a video about the microphone announcement system shown in some of your videos in your garage?

[@nics-systems-electric]

No I don't

[@wibwabz]

@@nics-systems-electric do you still have it set up? I would love to see a video about it.

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@wibwabz not really it's just the siren that was on my bike

[@wibwabz]

@@nics-systems-electric you turned it into a siren? I was talking about the one in your garage that uses the fire alarms as speakers.

[@joshfriesen9401]

Back when I lived in coastal BC, we would have these storms often and the power would go out every couple weeks. Eventually BC hydro just transitioned high-risk areas to underground power and then we rarely got any outages.

[@bluelinden]

i live in the US, and the power company that occupies most of the state of virginia is doing the same thing.

[@N3X15]

Folks live on Whidbey, it's apparently been pretty nasty there, too.

[@owenhickey13]

What’s that large piece of equipment on the roof at 21:49 ?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Water to air cooling evaporator

[@millenniumbryan]

I know here in the US emergency lights have to be 90 minutes. Why 30 min in canada? 75 mph winds? That's pretty high. You still keeping the beard Nic? You look good with it

[@nics-systems-electric]

Still keeping it. 90 minutes is just excessive in my opinion 30 minutes is also excessive depending on the size of the building as it should not take you that long to evacuate if it's a small building.

[@millenniumbryan]

@nics-systems-electric I always thought the longer the better with emergency lighting. Who's to say than an emergency requiring evacuation is going to happen within the first 30 min or 90 min after an outage?

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@millenniumbryan longer definitely isn't hurting anything just isn't a requirement as your cost would get much higher

[@robertmailhos8159]

Mam you definitely got the wind and the rain up there in Canada Nick

[@brandonkonicki2177]

Does the schools have a radio box that the fire department monitors or the alarm company monitors

[@nics-systems-electric]

Fire alarm systems are monitored through the security system if it's an old install or if it's been brought up to a proper ULC listed install it will have a ULC listed fire alarm monitoring panel that will have two sources of communication to the monitoring company

[@catz_crazy6672]

We got 8 inches of snow yesterday and the power flickered a few times

[@dylanreynolds8264]

I remember we had an ice storm 2013 and we lost power for nearly 5 hours

[@DylanWynns774]

This past summer here in Shreveport, Louisiana we had 2 confirmed tornados and we dont have any tornado sirens in Louisiana and the power went out for 4 days.

Quick question do the people that you work with come to your house sometimes?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes

[@tronicsterspeaker9946]

wow how long are the emergency lighting rated for?

[@nics-systems-electric]

They have to go for 30 minutes legally

Did the power at your high school go out too

No
