VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Wind gusts up to 100 km/h are forecast for Metro Vancouver, and as high as 140 km/h on Vancouver Island. Due to those winds, BC Ferries has canceled morning routes, effectively blocking all access to Vancouver Island.
Five routes are affected: Tsawwassen - Swartz Bay, Tsawwassen - Duke Point, Tsawwassen - the Southern Gulf Islands, Horseshoe Bay - Departure Bay, and Powell River - Comox.
BC Ferries doesn't know when service will return to normal. Listen to traffic and weather together on the ones, and get up-to-the-minute traffic updates on Twitter @News1130Traffic.
City of Vancouver warning:
If you have hatches, and you know how to batten, get to work!
There's enough power in the predicted gusts to damage property, marinas, and neighbourhoods. The City of Vancouver is urging you to secure your garbage bans, recycling bins, patio furniture, and any construction material you may have lying around; they could get blown around and cause injury or damage.
You also might want to prepare for possible power outages today; keep those candles ready, just in case. If power lines come down near you, stay well back and call 9-1-1.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-3-2 07:58
