@mattfromnl The little fella next door already climbed it yesterday! Pitched a flag and everything. 😂

@melissblackmore George keeps asking to climb it. 😂

I think we should refer to this week and the upcoming storms as slowmageddon. #nlwx

The only thing that gets me out of a Twitter hiatus these days is @VOCMOpenline. Congratulations on your last day in the big chair, Paddy!

Nothing gold can stay, not even the buttery smooth incredibly level-headed voice of Paddy Daly hosting Openline.

Returning from my Twitter hiatus to ask the hive what that @VOCMOpenline call was. Is this real life? #SheSaidNo

@andrewtaylor19 @VOCMOpenline Me right now

So like, was that real just then? Hahahaha @VOCMOpenline because that would be legendary if it was, and if not, great comedy.

August 12 | 6:00 PM: This afternoon a transmission line serving the St. John’s area tripped due to the Paddy’s Pond fire. It’s now back online, but smoke, fire, and suppression efforts may cause intermittent issues. No customer outages are expected as a result. Two additional lines remain fully operational and serving customers, but we encourage everyone to be prepared if the fire impacts our equipment. Read our latest update here: heyor.ca/rvzQPJ We are incredibly grateful to the firefighters, volunteers & emergency crews working to protect our communities. Stay safe everyone and remember to keep your devices charged so you can get the information you need.

Impacted residents are advised to travel NORTH to Route 60 (Topsail Road), as Peacekeeper’s Way will be CLOSED between Mineral’s Road and the Trans-Canada Highway.
