VANCOUVER — BC Hydro is warning customers in remote areas of Vancouver Island that they may be without power until late Saturday, as winds from another powerful storm hit the coast.
The latest in a series of fall storms has brought gusts up to 100 km/h but Environment Canada says it isn't as strong as the bomb cyclone that knocked out power to more than 300,000 properties this week.
Environment Canada has issued more than a dozen special weather statements and wind warnings for Vancouver Island and the B.C. south coast today due to the latest storm. Gusts of 100 km/h were recorded before dawn in Howe Sound, while other areas saw gusts approaching 90 km/h.
