Prince George, B.C.  - The high winds are being blamed for several power outages throughout Prince George and in  other communities in the region.  Tree branches have downed some lines, and there are some reports of  lines on the ground.  B.C. Hydro reminds you  that  downed lines should always be considered "live" and you should stay clear of them.

Environment Canada says a wind warning remains in effect, although the  wind is expected to ease this evening.  The wind  is  associated with a  strong frontal system tht is moving through the central interior today with south winds of 70 gusting to 90 km/h expected over the Prince George region. Winds will also be strong through the remainder of the central interior but should remain below warning criteria at 60 gusting to 80 km/h. Winds will ease tonight as the system moves through the region.

Car 54 where are you? Dead trees (30) fell down at our golf course today with our little slight breeze. More money saved. Maybe we can just wait til they all fall down. Fore!!
