@alexrussellYVR Yes—my lamps shook

Did anyone just feel an earthquake in Vancouver around 1:26 p.m.? The walls of the room I was in just started shaking violently for about half a minute. Am I imagining things? #earthquake

@twcworldwide Yes, my lamps shook

Did anyone else in Vancouver just feel that earthquake?!

@Richmond_BC Maybe share this update with schools, which have remained open….

❄️Road conditions update: Crews are actively clearing priority routes, but all remain snow-covered & icy. Pls. avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. If you must drive, ensure your car has winter tires. Check snow plow progress: richmond.ca/SnowPlow #RichmondBC #bcstorm

I just felt an #earthquake in #Vancouver I think

This construction envelope just ripped off and is flapping in the wind. It’s noisy! #windy #vancouver #BombCyclone

@wendyevaK This is where the construction site is: maps.app.goo.gl/xbkLM1nMkCLVQB…

My kid witnessed this massive fire outside his work, just this evening at dinnertime I hope and pray no one was hurt when the crane fell How heartbreaking #vancouverfire

@skyjumptrader I can hear the sirens everywhere in the Kerrisdale neighborhood

Seems like a huge fire just started in #Vancouver #Kitsilano. couple of explosion heard

@BernUnitHK I hear the sirens everywhere

Three big explosions near Dunbar and maybe 41st? #vancouver #fire

@Xcellent78 @ShadowofEzra It clearly shows it’s not a demolition—you can see the top portion of the first tower “tip over” where it was hit by the plane, and then fall into the rest of the building, pounding it down one floor at a time. I thought when I saw it—finally proof against the bs conspiracies.

@ShadowofEzra New angle of the controlled demolition

New footage of 9/11 emerges after 23 years. Recorded and uploaded by Kei Sugimoto, who was 24 years old at the time, it shows new angles of the collapse of the World Trade Center. This footage offers a unique perspective not seen from the south or east. You are watching these angles for the first time ever.

Smells like heavy smoke and fire at #UBC today #fire #Vancouver

Power is out at UBC #BCStorm #Vancouver #ubc

@bchydro UBC is out of power

@nslsc @studentaidbc Will you be making it possible to apply for the grant WITHOUT applying for the loan?? That’s really what I need.

Did you know you automatically apply for a grant and a loan all in one application? The Government of Canada offers a variety of funding options to help you reach your post-secondary goals. Apply directly with your province or territory of residence: ow.ly/OMGU50MJFH0

@Eileenwriter Oh my god I love this video

Amazing time at #SIWC22 this year! I love my creative academy people!

Amazing keynote from @FondaJLee “Luck is often about being ready to shove your work into the luck hole when it appears.” #siwc22 #siwc2022

@WestJet my mom contacted your customer service via messenger and she was instructed by one of your agents to open up a bitcoin account. What is going on?! How on earth is that legitimate?

Today was a big day—my first day as a teacher in my very own class. It was a fantastic day and went by so quickly. I can’t believe I’m going to get paid (really well) for this! I’m in love! instagram.com/p/CTyfmT0rbXZl…

@classcraftgame Yay! I can finally start playing!

@shalonsims Hi! Good question! You can create your Classcraft account using a personal email and change it when you have your school email!

@classcraftgame Hi there! I will have my first classroom in September and I want to start setting up my classcraft account, but I do not yet have my school gmail account. Is it best to wait until I have that or is there a workaround?

@classcraftgame Awesome, thank you!
