A wind warning is in effect for areas of Vancouver Island’s east coast and the Gulf Islands.
Environment Canada issued the warning Tuesday morning for Duncan to Fanny Bay, advising that “persons in or near this area should be on the lookout for adverse weather conditions and take necessary safety precautions.”
The warning was updated soon after to note that “strong winds that may cause damage are expected or occurring,” gusting to 70-90 kilometres per hour over parts of the Island near the Strait of Georgia.
BC Ferries advised that the 10:15 a.m. sailing from Tsawwassen to Duke Point has delayed its departure due to adverse weather.
BC Hydro says it has crews en route to a power outage affecting 2,200 customers in the Qualicum Bay-Fanny Bay area.
