BC Hydro says thousands of customers across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands started the day without power, as a powerful storm hits B.C.’s south coast
Wind warnings and special weather statements remain posted for Vancouver Island and British Columbia’s inner south coast, but it appears the region has dodged significant damage from a powerful storm.
Winds have eased slightly, but the weather office says gusts of 90 to 100 km/h are still possible in many areas as the storm tracks northeast and is expected to pass over northern Vancouver Island. It says it’s also working to restore power to several thousand customers on the Lower Mainland and Sunshine Coast.
