“You are still young, free.. Do yourself a favor. Before it’s too late, without thinking too much about it first, pack a pillow and a blanket and see as much of the world as you can. You will not regret it. One day it will be too late.”

“The moment the audience is caught in the conspiracy of story is the most magical in all of drama; you’ll know it well from live theatre - it’s the point at which the protagonist has burrowed inside and taken over the spectator, the moment the coughing stops.”

— John Yorke (in ‘Into the Woods: How stories work and why we tell them’)

B.C. windstorm among 'most severe' in years: Hydro

Environment Canada says gusts topped 100 km/h just south of Vancouver and in parts of the Fraser Valley, making the storm more powerful than the 2006 gales that levelled a large section of forest in Stanley Park.

White Rock Mayor Darryl Walker says it could take months and millions of dollars to repair the city’s beloved pier after part of it was ripped away during an intense windstorm that swept over British Columbia’s southern coast.
It’s one of several communities dealing with the aftermath of Thursday’s storm, which BC Hydro is describing as among the most severe in many years.
The 457 metre pier will be closed until further notice after several boats broke away from their moorings and battered the middle of the pier, eventually collapsing a 30-metre section, Walker said.
“The damage that was done to our pier appears to be something that will take some months for us to recoup from, it’s extremely damaged,” he said.
The force of the waves also tossed logs and concrete picnic tables onto the popular promenade along the city’s waterfront and Walker said that area will be cordoned off while repairs are made.
One person was trapped at the end of the pier and had to be airlifted by helicopter to safety at the height of the storm but no one was hurt.
BC Hydro said more than 100,000 customers were still without power by late Friday afternoon and some could remain in the dark for days as crews work to repair outages on Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast and Fraser Valley.
