A different category of extreme weather hit us this weekend. After the driest summer (and probably hottest) on record we got hammered this past weekend by the most severe wind and rain storm since the "Big One" in 2006 when a vast amount of trees fell in Stanley Park.
We drove from Vancouver to Abbotsford on Saturday afternoon and witnessed first hand the tree debris littering the roadside. In fact, if it hadn't been for the traffic station on the radio we probably wouldn't have made it to Abbottsford in any reasonable amount of time.
Strangely enough, even considering all the power outages on our neighbourhood, I didn't discover the tree damage until this afternoon.

| Fortunately this tree missed the house. |

| This tree clipped two cars in tandem. |
 |
| These trees are in the parking lot where I work in Richmond. |
 |
| These branches came down in a street in my East Van neighbourhood lined with large trees. |
