Default What a wind storm !

Well out here just south of Calgary on our acreage the wind is unbelievable. It is going to be a long night. So far I've completely lost a shed, 2 horse shelters and had a horse struck by panel of some sort.Can't tell about house or other structure damage yet as it is dark out. Pretty well at the mercy of mother nature, as there's not much one can do. Anyone in Calgary experiencing the same? Also herd things aren't great in some parts of BC.

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.

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.
