One dead after deadly storm brings powerful winds, heavy rain to BC
A crushed trampoline sits beneath a fallen tree in a Surrey front yard. The children who had been playing there had gone inside only moments earlier, according to Global News' report on the powerful weekend storm in British Columbia.
Elsewhere, the damage was fatal. Reporter Kristen Robinson says a tree fell onto two vehicles on Highway 10, trapping their occupants. One driver died at the scene despite life-saving efforts; the others sustained minor injuries, the report says.
The footage shows firefighters assessing damaged vehicles and utility workers clearing fallen poles and wires. Global News reports that roughly 80,000 customers were left without power, with South Surrey and Langley among the affected areas.
At the Surrey home, an adult resident recalls noticing power lines shaking before the tree came down. The report returns to the family's relief that everyone had made it indoors before the collapse, leaving the wrecked trampoline as a visible reminder of how close it came.
A city in British Columbia and part of the Metro Vancouver region. It lies south of the Fraser River on the Canada–US border.
