The prairies can have some wild storms once in a while. I can remember a few when I was kid growing up there. I miss seeing the thunder and lightning storms. We sure don't get twisters like the ones that happen out there every now and again, thankfully.Out here it sure is different though with 50' to 100' trees swaying above you and wondering if they'll stay standing or drop on your house.Thanks for commenting.

I remember that, It made it over the mountains and whipped things around her on the prairies. It is very rare for such a storm still cause damage after going over the rockies.

After a storm sure is a great time to bring in some firewood. Makes it a lot easier. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers

Don't know if it's Global Warming, I can clearly remember being out of power for a few days in Wildwood and the Chimney being blown off in a storm. November was always the time for those crazy winds from the North West to come rolling in, who didn't go down to Gibson's Beach and buck up drift wood after a storm like that? I can remember a log barge lost its load off Harwood and all the logs were piled up all over from Sliammon to the mill.

I really think a road needs to be built, the ferry system is a joke and a half when in times like this you wouldn't be able to go anywhere. I have loved ones in Powell River and it worries me sometimes. Good video, we get high winds and stuff like that in Nanaimo on occasion, I remember the storm in November because we got it too.

Who knows. There is definitely pros and cons for both having and not having a road. One of the reasons that many people live here is because it is like living on an island. Sure, it is inconvenient some times but, it is great for keeping a lot of the big city problems out. One of the great things about this area is that when there is an emergency most people help one another. I'd rather be here than back in Vancouver or Toronto when an emergency hits. Cheers.

It sure can be stormy in the winter. This one was worse than normal. I was kept busy after the storm cleaning up and fixing storm damaged stuff. Thanks for commenting. Cheers

You should make the trip up again. It is still great place to visit. Thanks for commenting. Cheers |
