2016年03月11日溫哥華

【新唐人2016年03月10日訊】加拿大西岸城市溫哥華，星期三（3月9日）經歷了超強風暴，風力超過90公裡每小時。超過11萬戶居民斷電，海水漲潮嚴重。加拿大氣象局預警，溫哥華今日暴風雨強度並不會減弱。

Schools are closed, roads are blocked, 100,000 without power, there's flooding, flights being diverted. I'm going back to bed. #bcstorm

「學校關了，路也封了，10萬戶居民斷電，又是洪災，又是飛機延誤......我回去接著睡了。」

有網友昨晚用儀器在暴風雨中親測，大溫南部城市蘭裡的風力瞬間可達92.7公裡每小時。

連夜的強風暴雨，讓許多居民和商戶都受到不同損失。大家仔細看，這間位於阿伯茨福市的星巴克是真正的「打開門」做生意——鐵門已經被吹走了。

強風也吹倒了許多樹木，大溫地區清晨通勤的早高峰時段，包括高速公路在內的許多路段的車流，都受到封路的影響。

溫哥華市府官方推特表示，市政工人已經開始處理市區內被吹斷的樹木。好可惜，剛剛才開的櫻花，就這麼沒了。

整個大溫地區多個城市也因吹倒的樹木導致斷電。截止目前的數據，斷電用戶已超過11萬戶。

雖然電力部門已加派人手進行搶修，但低陸平原地區和陽光海岸仍舊有超過9萬用戶沒有電，北溫地區也有大片居民區仍舊處於斷電狀態。

多個城市的公共設施也因斷電而暫時關閉。

「Pitt Meadow公共圖書館因斷電暫時關閉，開館時間另行通知。」

卑詩電力局也在其官方推特中提醒市民，如果遇到有電線電纜掉在路上，請與之保持10米距離，並即播打911報警。

同時，整夜的暴風雨還帶來了海水漲潮，海邊的步道、長椅，一夜之間都被海水淹沒。

但是，這些這些還不是全部。
