Bomb cyclone: Major cleanup underway after BC storm closes roads, knocks out power, downs trees

Tens of thousands of British Columbians were without power on Wednesday after a bomb cyclone brought strong winds overnight. BC Ferries sailings on Tuesday evening were cancelled due to the incoming storm. The company has said trips on Wednesday morning are also scrapped due to the sustained winds. Trees were brought down in areas including Vancouver, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam. Some fell on cars and blocked roads, however, there have been no reports of any injuries. Several highways on Vancouver Island remain closed, including Highway 4 east of Port Alberni where trees and branches littered the road. Crews used equipment to remove larger pieces but the closures did cause some collisions. Global's Andrea Macpherson has an update on clean up and chief meterorologist Mark Madrya has the latest on the forecast.
