They recorded peak speeds 120+km/h, which is hurricane force (albeit not sustained). No idea if my boat is still on her mooring in Sidney or sustained any damage. I didn't see anything on social media about boats running loose in Tsehum so probably fine. I'd pumped the bilge into a bucket the day before, so no doubt that's everywhere now.

Not hurricanes, but sustained winds in the 60+ kt. The worst hit (at least in Canada) was Nanaimo and there was also heavy damage in White Rock, BC. The national news was showing a pier destroyed by the storm - several sailboats broke off their moorings and banged against the pier until it broke (not a pretty picture). Also, a number of boats ended on the beach, one of them looking very much like a C&C (30?). Not an event you want to experience any time, but even more so around Christmas. I hope nobody we know suffered any serious damage. Marek Ottawa, ON
