Environment Canada says storm surge could flood low-lying sections of the Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria coastlines and the Southern Gulf Islands on Friday, Nov. 13, with the risk potentially continuing into the weekend. It expects peak water levels between 10 a.m. and noon Pacific.
The statements cover exposed shorelines from Boundary Bay to Semiahmoo Bay, including areas near Musqueam, and parts of the Greater Victoria coast and Saanich Inlet. Gusts of 60 to 80 km/h are possible on exposed shorelines at times into the weekend. Keep clear of waves and flooded shoreline routes.
