Typical October rain would be delightful. I will get more excited about it once it gets within five days and the rug hasn’t been pulled.

60th anniversary of Typhoon Freda!

Typhoon Freda slams B.C. coast in 1962
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british- ... -1.3806345

A storm that knocked down thousands of trees across Metro Vancouver and caused millions of dollars in damages.

[...]

Typhoon Freda struck southern B.C. on Oct. 12, 1962. It is the worst storm on record in the Pacific Northwest say meteorological experts.

According to BC Hydro, the storm caused today's equivalent of more than $600 million in damages and seven storm-related deaths. At its peak at 11 p.m. PT, winds reached 145 km/h.

"This is the worst storm to hit Vancouver in the life of our city," said Tom Alsbury, Vancouver's mayor at the time.

"I think most of our citizens do not realize the appalling extent of the loss we have suffered."

Trees snapped into bits across the region, hydro lines sparked and transformers blew up.

The loss included 1,000 trees knocked down from city boulevards. Alsbury said the damage in Stanley Park alone was worth $100,000.

Experts at the time said it would take at least three years to clear up the damage in the park — 3,000 trees were knocked down there.

Meanwhile, Freda wasn't expected to be as severe as it was. BC Hydro says the typhoon, which originated in Hawaii, was downgraded to a tropical storm as it approached B.C.

But by time it hit the coast, it had combined with a low-pressure system and ended up wreaking havoc across the Lower Mainland.

Jack Westaway, a retired BC Hydro employee in Victoria, was working the night of the storm.

"It was violent," he said. "Just general devastation everywhere you went. There were trees breaking off and flying across the roads."

"Wind was just blowing the rain horizontal and trees were weaving all over the place. You didn't know if you were going to get hit or not."

Typical October rain. No real elements in play for any "storm" development just yet. Cold is developing in the Arctic...just need a mechanism to really draw it out over the Pacific.

Decent chance of a snowfall for Southern Ontario and Quebec next week. A reminder that winter is a stones throw away now.

And perhaps a pineapples throw away from your AR's El Nino.
reached an astonishing high of 23c @ the pond in south Sardis today.

There was a couple cm of snow at YVR on Oct 28 of that year.

Although the rest of that winter was no bouno, imo.

Impressive! Thanks for sharing that, I had read about it but hadn't seen it. Space dust? Or satellite junk?

60th anniversary of Typhoon

Absolutely amazing write up thanks for posting, Ttyphoon true story my mom told years ago it always stuck with me although l was 3 at the time l probably eitherl don't remember the event or was to scared too.
My dad was so tired from work and said to my mom if the roof blows off wake me. O.k. this is weird it's currently 10c @ the pond in south Sardis, 7c @ Abby and 19c @ Agassiz. corporal Goose can you investigate the Agassiz station for a quality check.

My guess is this hot dry weather will continue through winter.
What kinda of headline is this to write this time of year someone's bad journalism.
