BOMB CYCLONE HITS SMALL TOWN - Assessing The Damage While The Storm Rages.

A ‘bomb cyclone’ weather system blasted the B.C. coast, leaving tens of thousands without power. Parts of Vancouver Island were lashed with hurricane-force winds of up to 170 km/h.

[@minimalistinmotion]

Terrific footage! The power of the ocean is incredible and it’s why we respect it so much. Great job! 🤙🏼

[@Mooseracks]

I've lived on Vancouver Island for 50 plus years...and witnessed hundreds of storms.... this on is nothing new... what's new are the names or terminology used to describe this storm and other.... IMAGINE the psychological effects these words havecon some people...."Bomb Cyclone" After 65 years of listening to weather news, I am amazed at how terminology has changed

[@thomasharper4166]

Mass formational psychosis!

[@Topaz2022]

Cloud ceiling!!

[@dustinconlyn320]

Exactly me also grew up in sooke and victora and a commerical fisherman they just changed the names for fear mongering!! We had same storms in 80s and 90s. Bomb cyclones!! Rolmfao!! Heat domes! And atmospheric rivers!! Wtf is next! Dont say bomb cyclone in the air port youll go to jail!!! Lmao

[@mtcentral]

I’m not sure if your new to town but there is nothing out of the ordinary for this storm. I’ve lived here almost 40 years and can tell you it was underwhelming at best. Also the big rock gets tides up around it every year. More than once too. I’m glad you enjoyed it though.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

I was born on the Quadra ferry. This was a pretty epic storm combined with an extreme high tide. You’re telling me this goes on all the time? I know it wasn’t like there was trees down everywhere, but it was pretty crazy

[@billonbuilding284]

@@JeremyDoesThingstypical winter. Quit spreading the fear

[@mtcentral]

@@JeremyDoesThings yes the tide comes up around the big rock every year. Also if your near the Quadra ferry then you will remember only a couple years ago when the tides were so high water came across to the entrance of Tyee plaza and so much driftwood covered the entrance to the ferry, Tyee plaza and the highway that it was down to 2 lanes instead of 4.

[@JoeyOnly]

it's not fear mongering to be in awe of things nature does. The reality is it's you guys that are scared, to scared to look at anything that might not jive with how you think the world should be. It didn't hit BC as hard as other places, that doesn't mean it was ordinary.

[@JoeyOnly]

oh was this a joke too MT? Human garbage....or is it you just crapping on people?

[@Karen-p9t5g]

That isn’t driftwood, that is a broken log boom.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Crazy

[@mtcentral]

Broken log boom? What?

[@rockfishmiller]

We used to call this a big storm, what changed?

[@bvictoria6605]

"What changed?" It's the Climate change fearmongering!

[@dalelore2725]

we never had meteroligists talking to us in science terms. Call it what you want, big low with strong winds and waves. Big storm.

[@Mooseracks]

[@Dellelona]

What’s the prob? It got the people’s attention. Too many people are just moseying along and are not prepared for disasters of any magnitude.

[@ronwikeheiser6706]

This use to be winter weather and this has happened before it is unbelievable to pretend this has never happened before

[@Dellelona]

Does it matter? Call it whatever you want. Don’t disrespect those who were really affected. Even having the power out for a day wasn’t entertaining for seniors and mothers.

[@anitaardiel1691]

I didn’t expect the underwater footage would be so clear. That was really cool! Technology is amazing 😊

[@JeremyDoesThings]

I felt the exact same way when I brought it home and watched the footage. I couldn’t believe it. I think I’m gonna get a whole dry set up and get under the water there and go try to find fishing gear and fun stuff.

[@soulhealer20]

Excellent film. I went down to Big Rock yesterday (Friday). It was very calm in the afternoon and the beach was quite clear of driftwood. The rocks were very clean and smooth.

[@blackcreektinyhouse]

we sure got hammered on Gabriola..power is still out.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Oh man I’m sorry to hear that! Yea the power was out for a day on Quadra island aswell but came back on now. Stay safe over there on gabriola. Hoping it comes back in soon for Youguys.

[@Dellelona]

@@JeremyDoesThingsI’m on the coast and have family in N. Carolina. Some areas were destroyed and they’re still looking for survivors God Bless

Awesome video Jer. Thanks for saving the bimini❤

[@JeremyDoesThings]

@@debcollins2078 hey anytime haha apparently the people from the dental office were all watching The show go down to make sure I didn’t fall in lol. Funny I walked in to the dental office today and they all knew me

[@minashanti]

Great video Jeremy! thank you! 😘

[@courtneyawalsh]

Whew. That was SO stressful. Please never risk your life for a boat again. 🙏🏼

[@AlaskanInsights]

Yep always keep a boathook handy. LOL Thing is you get sucked under the log, and it's over. We had the same thing happen a couple years ago. one of them was taking a wizz and lost his footing and his girlfriend jumped in after him, lost em both didn't find them for a week. yah it would mangle the frame for sure, that's a pretty big bimini. there was pretty high tides this past week, ugly combo. We got hit pretty good here too, only 60 to 70 mph, but clear and down in the lower 20's and teens fahrenheit.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Hey buddy sorry for the delayed response. That’s sad about the couple. He fell in and got swept under a log and she went in after him? Tragic. Glad Youguys didn’t get hit super hard up there. Winter is coming that’s for sure lol

[@AlaskanInsights]

@@JeremyDoesThings yah pretty much the same setup, slippery log sticking out in the water. They found him after a few days when the water went down. she got swept out in the channel and fishermen found her about 10 miles down the beach. We supposed to get a foot of snow tomorrow, cold stuff pushing down from the yukon.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

@ that’s super sad. I actually fell thru a frozen goldfish pond when I was almost two. Was under water for 8 minutes. Iv been lucky to live every day since then. Yea we had a cold front it got slushy but not muck of the sticky stuff. Our mountains have two meters already tho. Stay warm and safe my friend

[@barbaramindell4712]

Did it move the BIG ROCK? Good hat save. I would be sea sick and puking on that boat. You’re a good son. I think it was good to take it down. Do not fall in that river my beautiful son. Nice underwater shots. Thanks for filming this storm.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

It did not move the big rock to my knowledge. But yea the tides haven’t been that high since iv lived here. Yep family is always on my mind when filming stuff. Yea the underwater case is going to open up a whole new world to adventure in :)

[@CrazyHowie]

This was a normal November storm. It's really nothing to be excited over. The scary names they keep throwing at regular wether events is just sad.

[@JoeyOnly]

Thanks for the great footage. I was calling this storm for over a week before it hit. I'll show my other weather nerds from our podcast. Subbed.

[@mtcentral]

You should call it the “weak”storm on your podcast

[@JoeyOnly]

@@mtcentral oh that storm that was measured with 206kph winds in Oregon and 172kph at Sartine Island? Guess that's normal, category 3 hurricane force winds happen all the time don't they? Just normal. People like you want to force everyone to be as simple and base as them.

[@mtcentral]

@ the video isn’t about Oregon 🤌🏻

[@JoeyOnly]

@@mtcentral you told me this was a normal storm? So are you changing your opinion to it was indeed a very strong storm but BC didn't get it as bad as it could have been? Are you changing your original foolish statement? Thought you said it was a weak storm? What's wrong? Used to bullying people who aren't smarter than you?

[@mtcentral]

@@JoeyOnly is this all that constitutes bullying now? First off it was a light hearted joke. Sorry I offended you so easily (not really) but secondly nobody was talking about Oregon here and I had no idea where you are from. I stand by my opinion as this guy made a sensationalist style video about a mediocre storm (for this area) that did far less of the things he showed then the average fall storm we get in Campbell River would do to the area typically.

[@bonniesmith200]

Thanks for posting . well done

[@carolinewegner4438]

Great video! It was interesting to watch in real time the action of this bomb cyclone weather! Brave and fun Jer~ You are fast and savy how quickly you were with the retrieval of your ball cap. I think that you did a great service to your Dad's boat thingy ~ necessary and safe

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Aww thanks Caroline. Yea it was crazy seeing all the driftwood that came in. Good thing dad had the big gaff pole there or I would have never had a chance on the hat retrieval lol. Sorry I didn’t pop in for a hello I’ll definitely come say hi next time I’m there. Have a good weekend.

Hiya great footage. Tonight too through Saturday 23rd is the second one I see. Not sure if you know about Joseph -- Sharing the Wild , he is on Van Isle too and you may dig his vids. Lots of similar hobbies. He is a BC transport from Alberta and looks like he wont ever be going back there, haha. That is always the case when others visit I find. Good on you for helping with your family boat.

I think you will like those videos he has from prior years surrounding that whole thing. Also he has a crossbow but unsure how much uses. He has been hardcore into freediving in our majestic Salish Sea plus in Indo for a year now. If you watch a lot of his earlier footage he did/does a lot of (wants to do more), but lives in epic custom built van) of what your mum was up to in homestead video with clean eating and such.

This time of year again. But we love our province.

[@Rose-fe5wo]

Hi JDT. Wow that wind is crazy. We've been watching videos and we are blown away! I can't believe how much timber and lumber washes ashore in those storms, it's amzing. I hope every one is ok and people get their power back quickly. Hope the dock made it JDT

[@thomasjeffersoncry]

Most of that timber was already on the shore it just gets hit by the waves. This was a very high tide + the wind surge makes the tide a little higher. This happens on every storm when it is high tide!

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Yea so much wood hey! I couldn’t believe it! Yea three quarters of Vancouver island was out for a day. It’s mostly on now.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Yea I hope the dock makes it too I haven’t checked on it. Not fishing until next season now. Hope all is well over in your hood.

[@mtcentral]

@@JeremyDoesThings the dock is just fine. My company built it with CR engineering to withstand much more than that and also the city brings an excavator in almost every year to get out the trapped driftwood and logs that get stuck under them.

[@CeltDoesStuff]

Those were some tuff conditions there! So many logs getting tossed around in the water

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Yea man so much wood! I was getting to know the logs pretty well on my local beaches but now it’s going to be completely different. It’s exciting.

[@joesprague1464]

No,it was not going to survive that velocity of wind.It was tearing apart before you got there.

[@JeremyDoesThings]

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Epic comment love it and yea it’s way worse than we get but still possibly lightweight compared to what some people deal with

[@tjpighin]

@JeremyDoesThings I lived on the island for many years and I have lived in bc for 39 years now. I am a powerlineman and in the trade for 25 plus years now, so I typically see and have to work in all the destruction every winter storm. It happens multiple times a year. The waves hit the point and come up over the road to splash all the houses. Nothing new. Nothing worthy of a doom and gloom name like bomb cyclone. Just a typical winter storm.

[@Sodonewithchaos]

Boy old Relic woulda had a hay day with all those logs 🤣🤣‼️🫡

[@tamarashiels570]

I would not call it under whelming exactly. I lived here for long time these winds are getting really worse. I guess it is ones point of view.

[@courtneyawalsh]

Get outta there before it becomes: Jeremy did things! 😳

[@janinereibin9250]

Dad should know better,Son to the rescue!

[@pendizzy6352]

I'm guessing those logs are from the slide up the Chilcotin and down the Fraser hwy, to the ocean...

[@JeremyDoesThings]

That’s an interesting thought. But I’m thinking it’s the highest tides we’ve had in a long time and all of our beaches are loaded with Driftwood so every single beach was getting emptied of wood and dispersed into these little bays.

[@donyoshi6076]

Holy effon shizz.Had visions of you getting launched overboard after releasing bimini.Awesome footage and great job son.😊

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Haha yea I was thinking it was going to take right off like a parachute but I got lucky I guess lol thanks buddy

[@TraceyWhitney]

Get mosaic and western to stop clear cutting and only leaving a ten feet wide green belt. Once you do that and a windstorm comes you might as well say goodbye to that ten foot green belt. Selective logging should always be a thing. Wanna know what happened to the big trees at cathedral grove? Ask what ever forest company was in charged of that area back then. There is a pattern and I’ve been watching it my whole life

Meaning of bomb, a container full of explosives etc. would you stop misusing the English language. You sound like those fools on the weather network.

[@AlaskanInsights]

That is what it is called. has nothing to do with the weather channel. Instead of trying to be a troll,...... A bomb cyclone, also known as bombogenesis, is a midlatitude cyclone that intensifies rapidly over 24 hours. The exact amount of pressure drop required to classify a storm as a bomb cyclone depends on the storm's latitude. For example, at 60° latitude, the central pressure must drop by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours.

[@whaleoilbeefhooked3892]
