A big windstorm knocked out power to thousands of BC Hydro customers on the South Coast of British Columbia overnight.
At the peak, wind gusts hit 70 to 120 km/h across the region. A total of 100,000 customers lost power during the windstorm, BC Hydro reported.
By 5:30 a.m., the winds had subsided and less than 30,000 customers were reported to be without power as crews worked to repair the damage. Some of the hardest-hit areas were Langley, Surrey and Maple Ridge.

The windstorm is forecast to be the final one in a series of subtropical weather systems to hit the region over the past week, triggering evacuation orders and flood watches.
Flooding earlier in the week also led to boil-water advisories in Comox and Nanaimo, while landslides triggered water restrictions in Lions Bay.
The weather is forecast to be clear on Friday, giving residents a break from the rain over the weekend, before wet weather returns next week.
