VANCOUVER — The first significant windstorm of British Columbia's unseasonably warm fall buffeted much of the province Monday, but only a few hundred customers remained without power less than 24 hours later.
BC Hydro says heavy wind gusts affected the northern and central Interior, leaving some residents of Prince George, Smithers, Burns Lake and Fort Nelson in the dark overnight.
Environment Canada's special weather statements advising of the blustery conditions were lifted overnight, as the weather office reported the stiffest gusts reached about 100 kilometres per hour in the waters just off Victoria late Monday, but conditions everywhere had eased by morning.
