iStock/Thinkstock(VANCOUVER, Canada) — Vancouver braces for flooding after the city cleans up from the worst wind storm in nearly a decade.
Toppling trees all over the Vancouver-area, a wind storm’s record high winds left 400,000 homes without power, one woman with life-threatening injuries after a tree fell on her, and another woman injured when a street light fell onto her car’s windshield.
One resident in the area, Mike King, said his car was crushed by a tree.
“I heard the crack, looked up, stepped back 2 feet, and in slow motion she just fell over,” King said.
More heavy rain was expected Sunday as officials reportedly asked people to clear sewer drains.
