A powerful windstorm slammed into B.C.’s South Coast on Thursday, roiling seas and felling trees.
At the peak of the storm, more than 310,000 people across the region had their power knocked out.

There was danger, too. One man had to be rescued by helicopter from a damaged White Rock pier, while another man in Surrey was injured and a woman in Duncan was killed by a falling tree.
