Tens of thousands of northerners were without power Saturday and Sunday, after a wicked windstorm blew through the region Saturday night. A few hundred people are still with outpower, as crews work around the clock to restore power to remote communities.

A yellow wind warning alert was issued by Environment Canada, which put first responders and hydro crews on high alert.

The damages are still being assessed, but some outages are still widespread. Today to give us more insight on how the repairs to Northern B.C.’s electrical grid are going we speak with Bob Gammer, BC Hydro’s community relations manager for Northern B.C.
