Possible Windstorm Sunday

Significant weather notification for British Columbia.

Gusty winds will sweep through B.C. on Sunday (Oct 9th) and Monday (Oct 10th) due to a cold front. Wind damage to drought-weakened trees may cause isolated power outages. Gusty winds with little to no precipitation will elevate fire behavior conditions.

We may dodge this warning, or not.  Strong outflow winds are expected and we might be hit with the Copper Canyon winds.  We are all usually prepared for this type of weather event, but our Stage 4 drought and EXTREME Fire Hazard rating could cause additional problems.

If you see a tree on the line and it’s sparking, call 911 immediately.  TIVFD
