While BC Hydro crews continue their cleanup, local homeowners in the BC Lower Mainland, inclg my friends, await their insurance adjuster as a large tree fell on their house overnight. Thankful they were unharmed.

A look on radar at that secondary front barreling through the BC Lower Mainland with another bout of very gusty winds and wind driven rain. Temps continue to drop as denser, colder air moves in.

At 1am we were around 20k @bchydro.bsky.social customers without power… At 2:41am we are at just under 83000 customers without power on the Lower Mainland and S Vancouver Island.
Winds are easing but this will take time for crews to fix!

Highest gusts with this weekends storm looks to lie along the western shores of northern Vancouver island, we primarily watch Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park, with potential gusts in excess of 100km/h late Friday morning. Anywhere else, winds aren’t a significant concern. #BCStorm #BCWind

What a beast of a storm... this "super" bomb cyclone dropped 66mb in 24hrs. To be classified as a bomb cyclone, a low has to drop 24mb in 24hrs (1mb/hr). Truly a beauty looking down from satellite.

Midday rustling of the cedars! Only a few more hours before they get properly tested. Tie loose objects down on your properties. Flying objects ruin ppl’s days! #BCWind #BCStorm #BombCyclone
