Who Blows There?

Who Blows There?
It seems that Father Winter let out a big sneeze!
Vancouver and southern BC was hit with a windstorm yesterday. In the Vancouver area, the winds reached up to 90 km/h.

This windstorm was not as bad as the one Vancouver experienced in 2006 which blew down over 40 hectares of forest.

Yesterdays storm did cause some damage to homes hit with fallen trees. Street closures included 49th avenue due to a fallen tree. Some power outages happened with most occurring in Surrey.

Our beautiful "green" city with all it's forested land is vulnerable to natures wrath when it comes to such storms.
