'I’ve never ever experienced a wind like that': second major storm hits parts of B.C.
A second major storm struck parts of British Columbia, leaving thousands without power and killing one person when vehicles were trapped under a fallen tree.
Police in Surrey said one driver died, while another suffered minor injuries after a tree trapped two vehicles on Saturday evening.
BC Hydro reported about 135,000 customers without power early Sunday, with outages later falling to approximately 63,000.
An evacuation order remained in place for 22 properties in Zeballos because flooding and heavy rain increased landslide risks, while another storm was expected Monday.
