What a wind storm !

Vancouver Island was BRUTAL the last 24 hours. We were trying to get the ferry from Nanaimo to Vancouver and were turned away (several ferries could not go-my brother was trying to go Victoria to Vancouver and was unable also) the wind was absolutely unbelievable. Our drive from Campbell River to Nanaimo was horrific...almost made us turn around but we were heading for my aunt's "wake/funeral" and thought it would calm down enough to go. WRONG!

There were a couple gusts downtown about 9:00 that shook our office building. Riding my bike home into the wind was not much fun.

Wind was nuts tonight in south calgary, buts its 12:30 now and it seems to have stopped for the most part.

Late morning till mid-afternoon it was howling in Burnaby. So loud it sounded like I was outside & not safe inside. Had to pick up something in Richmond tonight & parts of that city are still without lights. Fortunately, we never lost power or anything.

Well a 2.5 hour trech home last night made me thing about moving.
Just about every intersection between Richmond & Surrey was out last night.
And they are calling for more rain tonight.
