Show Notes
Crews have restored power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses in the Lower Mainland. A windstorm that started Tuesday night and continued into Wednesday morning across southern B.C., knocked out power to close to 120,000 BC Hydro customers. Winds hit over 100 km/h in several areas causing trees and branches to come down on numerous roads and power lines from Vancouver Island through to the West Kootenay.
Meanwhile, all remaining flood evacuation orders have been cancelled in Abbotsford. Those living on Sumas Prairie are now allowed to go home as flooding subsides. The BC River Forecast Centre has downgrading its flood warning to a high stream advisory.
