Steady SE blowin 40. Lot's of debris around but powers been on all day (so far).

Seemed to intensify within the past hour here on the Tyee Spit and now blowing over 40 MPH steady with many gusts near 60 I'd guess.
Rocking the old fifth wheeler for sure.


Take care.

Anyone with power outages?. I just talked with Tofinoguy and his power is out in Tofino.

Powers flicked a couple good ones late this afternoon. Earlier this afternoon driving south from Campbell looking out at the cape was un real! Flooding tide pounding at the hammering SE Storm force winds made for a cool site. Stopped and pulled out the bino's, steep and deep, looked like, no BS, in excess of 20 footers, pretty wild to say the least!
