How B.C.’s drought could impact fall’s first big storm of the season
Description
September 25, 2024
With the arrival of the first storm of the fall, BC Hydro is putting out a warning. The power company says after several years of drought conditions, trees and other vegetation have been weakened. The potential for them to break or fall and cause damage is high. And as Andrea Macpherson reports, that could mean power outages. Mark Madryga has an update on what to expect in the forecast.
