Vancouver rundown for Monday, November 4, 2024. Weather warnings remain posted as
heavy rain and strong wind continues to hit the BC South Coast. Wind and snow
warnings are also up for the mountain passes heading in and out of the lower
mainland. Extra BC hydro crews and contractors have been called in in
anticipation of widespread power outages. The storm conditions are expected to end
by Monday afternoon. Other news, crews continue to watch a hillside next to a
section of I-5 in Bellingham after a landslide brought traffic to a halt on
Sunday. Mud and debris from the hills spilled across the northbound lanes of
the interstate following some heavy rain. A few vehicles were caught in the mess
but no one was hurt. Searchers have spent the past few days trying to find a
missing Aldergrove woman believed to be somewhere along the east side of
Harrison Lake. Kent Harrison Search and Rescue has been trying to find Jane
Whitehouse. The 82 year old was reported missing on October 25th. Her car was
found abandoned along the Harrison East Forest Service Road two days later. The
search effort has involved teams from right across the lower mainland
scouring the area from the ground and from the air. Hundreds of people waited
in line at Richmond's Aberdeen Center as the Royal Canadian Mint released new
limited edition Canadian coins at face value. The event was held at a Canada
Post outlet inside one of the mall stores. Both coins feature King Charles
III on one side. Wind and storm conditions will ease on Monday afternoon
and then a mix of sun and cloud. Sunny for Tuesday and Wednesday. For all the
