Unless you were in a bunk for the last 48 hours you probably witnesses some of the crazy weather Vancouver saw over the weekend.
Wind speeds peaked above 80 km/h and hail was spotted across the Lower Mainland. Throughout the storm people took to their phones and cameras to catch pieces of the weather event.
They range from spectacular waves to some of the destruction and chaos the storm brought. First, the chaos:
Chunks of construction debris flying off of 1335 Howe construction site. Crazy! Howe St on-ramp should probably be closed. #BCStorm pic.twitter.com/QTAkdSFE3r
