Photos and video from today’s wicked winds; Lighted Ship Parade cancelled

Share

Tonight’s Lighted Ship Parade and Market, as well as the Ogden Point Light Up, are cancelled due to weather. The Truck Light Convoy is still on!

The City of Colwood tells Victoria Buzz the Public Works department is closing Ocean Boulevard to through traffic due to large logs being thrown up onto the road. The combination of King Tides, high winds and storm surges is creating a very dangerous situation. Storm watchers are urged to stay well back from the shoreline as large logs are tossed on the surf.

There are roughly 5,000 residents without power. Click here for the latest power outages.

"When you have an all afternoon spa day planned but mother nature along with Environment Canada throws you a curveball... 85km/hr winds down here on the ocean with waves tossing driftwood and seaweed into the pool as well as flooding it, not to mention those shatter-proof glass panels that keep shattering and tossing glass all around... not exactly what the ladies of Well Red were expecting. ..darnit"
