Don't let the high temperature or the nice icon fool you... today was nasty! Oh, there was a bit of sun in the morning, and a bit more just before dark, just after 4pm, but for the most part it was a nasty day. They should have an icon for wind! I'd post 2 of them here. We had a major wind/rain storm go through today. On TV they were showing some of the damage in the Okanagan Valley that happened today: trees broken off, trees ripped out by the roots... fallen onto houses, vehicles, power lines. Thousand of people with no electricity for hours, some still have none. Cyndi lives across town from me, just maybe 10 miles at most, and she had part of her roof ripped off. It's just on her covered deck/storage room, but still that's bad enough. Stacia lives in a town about 30 minute drive from here and had power out for 5 hours. She said the wind was 80 kilometers per hour (kph) there, and in the south end of the valley about 90+ kph.
It's a good thing Mom & I decided to cancel our tour as it would've been less than pleasant to be out and about in that.
