Wind Storm damage

There was a wind storm today. I was at work, in the Boardroom, chairing a meeting for our HR department. It was so windy it was rattling the skylights in the office. I then heard about the White Rock pier that was destroyed in the wind...

...and the rescue of one guy who was stranded on the other side of the pier. He was ok, but had to be rescued by helicopter.
Our power went out too, along with a bunch of other people. In our neighbourhood, they had closed the main road by the school going into our subdivision. A tree had come over on a power pole. I drove home in the darkness -- it was so weird going over the Alex Fraser Bridge in the dark. And seeing all the tree branches and stuff lying around the road, and yards. I'm glad I was at work for the worst of it (the wind apparently wasn't as bad at work). And hoping our power comes back on in a couple of days!
