Here We Blow Again: Prince George braces for yet another wind warning

It’s a scenario that now seems all too familiar with people in Prince George.

Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for the Prince George and Stuart-Nechako areas, which will be in place tonight (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wed).

Winds are expected to strengthen to 60 km/hour gusting to 90 this evening.

The weather office says local utility outages are possible. Damage to roofs, fences, branches, or soft shelters is possible. Parks and forests will likely sustain some damage.

Prince George is trying to crawl out of Friday’s windstorm, which still has roughly 2,000 BC Hydro customers still in the dark.

Province wide, up to 415,000 customers were impacted by windstorms over the weekend.
