BC Hydro said that work is underway to repair damages sustained from the winds, specifically in the North Shore, West Vancouver and North Vancouver.

”All available crews have been mobilized and will work to restore power to other affected customers in the region as quickly as possible,” a statement issued Tuesday (Nov. 9) reads.

In the past 24 hours, a total of 124,927 customers were in the dark, with majority having their power restored.
