While BC Hydro crews continue their cleanup, local homeowners in the BC Lower Mainland, inclg my friends, await their insurance adjuster as a large tree fell on their house overnight. Thankful they were unharmed.

What a beast of a storm... this "super" bomb cyclone dropped 66mb in 24hrs. To be classified as a bomb cyclone, a low has to drop 24mb in 24hrs (1mb/hr). Truly a beauty looking down from satellite.
