Tormenta deja a miles sin energía y mantiene lluvia y viento en Isla Vancouver

Environment Canada advirtió que la lluvia y el viento seguirían afectando a la Isla de Vancouver tras el temporal del 4 de noviembre, que derribó árboles, obligó evacuaciones y dejó sin electricidad a decenas de miles de personas. B. C. Hydro informó que se esperan más sistemas de tormenta durante la semana, manteniendo a muchos clientes sin suministro eléctrico.

El temporal comenzó el 4 de noviembre cuando el meteorólogo Steve Boily de Environment Canada alertó sobre tres sistemas de baja presión que traerían lluvias intensas y vientos fuertes al Gran Vancouver. Se pronosticaron ríos atmosféricos capaces de producir hasta 300 mm de precipitación y nieve alpina en la costa de Columbia Británica. El fenómeno activó una alerta amarilla de lluvia, vientos intensos, cancelaciones de ferris, una advertencia de oleaje y apagones generalizados. Posteriormente, el río atmosférico generó más lluvias intensas, viento y cortes de energía en el Gran Vancouver, y Environment Canada emitió advertencias de vientos del sureste para la Isla de Vancouver y el interior, mientras decenas de miles permanecían sin electricidad.
