Crews work to restore power after B.C. storm

Southwestern British Columbia is recovering from the latest in a series of storms to blow through the region over the past week.

Powerful winds and wet weather toppled trees and downed power lines over the weekend, cutting off power for thousands of Vancouver Island residents.

About 500 people on the west coast of the Island are still without electricity while crews work to fix the outages.

And in Victoria, a stretch of Dallas Road was closed because of high waves.

Great weather we are having! #yyj #windstorm #cloverpoint #exploremore #explorevictoria #tourismvictoria #explorebc
