By 4PM some 26000 residents between Langley and Hope were in the dark although many have power back.
Free lance reporter Shaun Glazier took footage of a tree down off Chilliwack River Road near Knight. Live wires in the bushes as well as a trampoline that was picked up by the wind at Chilliwack Central Road near Prest.
