Pinnacle Centre, not Pinnacle One Yonge, seemed to have a power outage last night, the whole tower was blacked out. The parking lot (which is overground) had flashing lights. I have pictures but I’ll post them later probably on the Pinnacle One Yonge thread.

So that they can exit downtown via a flooded Union Station, or a flooded DVP/Bayview, or a Flooded Lakeshore Blvd West!

It’s summer, let the workers swim or something. They can have a beach at work.

Reddit reports power at CIBC is out - no power south of Queen St. in general.

But hey look the sun is out!

Combined sewers, fecal coliform, something something.

CIBC Square? Didn’t see any power out last night, as I saw the light on top still powered on, and no flashing emergency lights. Could be out today, but I can’t tell.

Yeah I know, I was joking.

Does deep water cooling still work without power? I'd personally rather be outside given all the humans in there warming the place.

I don’t think it does.

When I saw Pinnacle out last night, there were no outages reported. That quickly changed…

@Bibi L is correct. The tech overall is very energy efficient, but does rely, in part on pumps, including those within a building

No, but I suspect given the water source for cooling is tied to the drinking water system there would be backup (so far as the source of cooling is concerned).

There are some reports of landslides along Don Valley further upstream as well.

Hopefully the Don is starting to crest:

At 2:20, am just passing by.

Is the DVP flooded? Just a couple of cars trickling through onto the Gardiner.
How is our Don flood protection going?

That's the Don Valley Canal and the Gardiner Aqueduct to everyone...
