Windstorm over southwestern B.C. Saturday November 14, 1981 / Pat Morin, supervising meteorologist.: En57-44/81-027E-PDF

"A windstorm which moved up the U.S. west coast and into Southwestern B.C. caused extensive power outages over Southern B.C. on November 14, 1981. An examination of three-hourly synoptic data during the period indicates that the strong winds were due to the following factors: (1) a strong east-west pressure gradient; (2) an unusually high isallobaric gradient; (3) the funelling effect of the Olympics and the Cascade Range."
