A bomb cyclone swept through British Columbia, leaving tens of thousands of residents without power and causing widespread damage. Strong winds brought down trees in Vancouver, Port Moody, and Port Coquitlam, some of which blocked roads and fell on cars. Despite the chaos, there have been no reports of injuries from the storm.
BC Ferries cancelled sailings on Tuesday evening and also scrapped trips for Wednesday morning due to the sustained winds. On Vancouver Island, several highways remain closed, including Highway 4 east of Port Alberni where crews worked to clear debris from the road. Unfortunately, the closures did lead to some collisions in the affected areas.
Cleanup efforts are underway as crews work to remove fallen trees and debris from the roads. Global’s Andrea Macpherson provides updates on the cleanup progress, while chief meteorologist Mark Madrya keeps viewers informed on the latest forecast developments.
