A 65-year-old woman in South Surrey was tragically killed by a falling tree during a severe windstorm.
A storm on Saturday led to power outages for tens of thousands on Vancouver Island and disrupted ferry travel.
the Beaufort Picnic Area appears to consist of stream-origin alluvial cobbles, pebbles, and perhaps sand, and so not well consolidated, thus perhaps making these trees relatively vulnerable to wind. The snapped-off trees, however, indicate the unusually high intensity of this particular windstorm.
