Storm Watching & Video

Storm Watching

We had storm warnings all along the east coast of the island today with winds reaching upwards of 90 km/hour at its peak, ferries between us and the mainland were cancelled and poor Hubby and the kids spent the whole day without power. Lucky me I was further down island where the power was still on *grin*.

On the way home I stopped to catch some of the action after the wind had slowed down a bit but the waves still towered way above me as they crashed over the sea wall in Qualicum this evening. I managed to stay dry but at there were a couple of times where I thought I was going to be soaked for sure as the water rushed upwards in front of me :)




I took a little bit of video on my camera while I was there to share to :) It's only about 10 seconds long but really cool to see how the water just rockets along the wall as it hits. If you are reading this via email or google reader you might have to jump over to my blog to see it :)

Hugs,
Rosina

Hey I was in Qualicum yesterday too, on the way home from the grocery store and saw those awesome waves. I have been looking at your blog for some time now, but it is so neat to see someone post about something so close to my home! So great! Love your blog.....

That is amazing. I'm not surprised that you thought you were in for a soaking! Quite a speed.
