Bomb cyclone forms off Vancouver Island, bringing hurricane-level winds and power outage risks

cbc.ca — November 19, 2024, 01:01 PM UTC

A "bomb cyclone" is forming off the coast of Vancouver Island, expected to bring hurricane-level wind gusts starting Tuesday afternoon. Wind warnings are in effect for all of B.C.'s coast, with gusts reaching up to 120 km/h. Forecasters predict power outages and possible disruptions to B.C. Ferries due to strong easterly winds and outflow winds from the Interior. This storm follows another major windstorm that left hundreds of thousands without power last week. The storm may also bring rain and snow to higher elevations, but not as much as the recent atmospheric river. Shipping companies are preparing for the storm, with anchorages offered to incoming vessels to ensure safety.
