When we went bed last night, the ground was getting white
and big snowflakes filled the air. I was
awakened by wind and rain pelting the motor home about 2 am and when I looked
outside, the ground was bare again. We had
planned to go to Campbell River to visit cousin Bill but he called to say the power
was out and the weather was terrible. We
decided to postpone our trip. Later I read
online that Campbell River was the hardest hit with trees and debris down on
many streets. There was also a report
that a house roof blew off and into the neighbour’s yard. Maybe we’ll go tomorrow.
After breakfast we went down to the beach to
check out the waves. French Creek was
the best, with big waves blasting the shore.
We went to several other areas but some of them were pretty sheltered so
the waves weren’t much. The tide was
also going out as the morning progressed which minimized the wave effect at the
beach. After a while, we decided to head
home as we were getting hungry even though it was still too early for
lunch. When we went in the motor home,
Aileen noticed the time and remembered we hadn’t set the clock in the car to daylight
saving time so it was actually past lunch time.
