Authorities are warning that high winds could cause more power outages as storms continue across B.C., after the season's first storms brought minor flooding and outages, Global News BC reported.

The storms have not let up. Officials are cautioning about the potential for further outages and about the dangers of rising water levels.

The flooding so far has been minor, according to the report. The warnings concern storms still under way across the province, so people in Metro Vancouver, like those elsewhere in B.C., will want to keep an eye on conditions as they develop.

The warnings remain in place while the storms continue.
