We now know some of the strongest gusts reached up to 170 km/h in that windstorm that hit Vancouver Island and parts of the Lower Mainland Tuesday evening. BC Hydro also says close to 300,000 customers were without power at the peak of the ‘cyclone bomb.’ Vancouver’s Langara College had to cancel classes Wednesday morning over concerns about fallen trees on power lines. Meanwhile, many parts of the Fraser Valley experienced very few problems during the storm.
