There were some severe storms reported on the West Coast (around Vancouver/Seattle). Not hurricanes, but sustained winds in the 60+ kt. The worst hit (at least in Canada) was Nanaimo and there was also heavy damage in White Rock, BC. The national news was showing a pier destroyed by the storm - several sailboats broke off their moorings and banged against the pier until it broke (not a pretty picture). Also, a number of boats ended on the beach, one of them looking very much like a C&C (30?).
Not an event you want to experience any time, but even more so around Christmas. I hope nobody we know suffered any serious damage. Marek Ottawa, ON
