Was there at about 8:30 AM. No power and this sign on the door "building closed due to power outage". Would be nice if the organisers could post on their Twitter or Facebook or something to let people know.

Those are Yesterdays photos. They put a real negative atmosphere on people on the border of coming.

Our friends will be there in the flea market will be open. That's the main purpose for us. I brought a machine and will be bringing a paying customer for Sunday.

Updates are being posted to FB quite regularly.

"Still no power in Ottawa... I'm still going to continue to set up the show and hope to f#@k that it comes back on this morning. #nevergiveup"
https://www.facebook.com/ottawa.pinball/

Megan is also posting quite regularly for the O-Town Throwdown;

"On location and there is still no power, but we’re continuing to set up with the hopes it will come on soon. Rumours abound, but cross your fingers that the projected restore time of this morning is accurate!
Note that I have limited service in the building, so may be slow in responding to messages. Will try to post updates regularly and definitely for major developments.
For now, planning to stick to schedule!"

I just heard on the radio that Nepean may not have power for days.

Are the doors open even without power? I would rather know before I drive all the way there.

From what I understand no hot water no public. I figure people at the venue will let us know something when they have solid information.

Will watch this thread closely. Still lots of time for a full day of pinball should the power return. Please provide updates as you get them. We will keep ourselves busy in Ottawa but will head back to the show if we get word that the power is back on and doors are open.

Really sad for the show and I hope that people in the area are well. I just came back from the site (I live near Mtl.) and trafic was chaotic. I will be looking here to find out if the show will go on tomorrow, and also wanted to share the Ottawa hydro site (it doens't look good I think :(

Yeah, I remain hopeful that we can still run a kickass tournament tomorrow in addition to the show. I've cancelled today's qualifying and will post a revised format when I have one.

Don't give up hope!

Traffic cam at Hunt Club and Woodroffe

I am assuming when the sportsplex has power this cam will be back on.

Edit: maybe not as reliable as I thought
