B次元官网网址淲e havenB次元官网网址檛 had that kind of wind for a few years,B次元官网网址 said City of Langford engineering manager of public works George Henshall. B次元官网网址淭he crews were out for more than a few hours on Sunday getting roads re-opened, and then most of the day Monday was spend raking up the little bits that were strewn everywhere.B次元官网网址

Henshall says it wasnB次元官网网址檛 the biggest mess heB次元官网网址檚 seen caused by weather in the area, but some of the more rural areas definitely took a while to get cleaned up.

B次元官网网址淭here were several trees down on Humpback Road and up near Goldstream Park,B次元官网网址 Henshall said. B次元官网网址淧eople love living where they can be surrounded by nature, but unfortunately it also means they are surrounded by the mess it can make sometimes.B次元官网网址
