Several parts of Vancouver Island were hit with power outages Tuesday morning as the first major storm of the fall season bore down on the British Columbia coast.
Environment Canada was warning residents that winds of 50 to 110 km/h were expected for exposed areas of the coast, from Victoria to the Queen Charlotte Islands and the north coast.
Remember Last Year!
My Mom is going to make sure we aren't caught off-guard this year when the power goes out. Some precautions are; making sure your chimney is clear of build up before you need to light a fire. Stocking up on water if you are on a well, as the pump won't work if the power is out. Fill the propane tank on your barbecue, as it may be the only way to cook or get hot water. Keep flashlights charged, your phone hard-wired, and candles ready. It's getting darker sooner these days. And purchase a couple of new board games or novels to pass the time. Television and computers are sometimes a missed source of entertainment.
