South Cariboo residents were left without power, telephone and a huge clean up job, after a windstorm hit British Columbia on May 23, knocking out power, pulling down trees and widespread destruction throughout the province.
In the South Cariboo, the Deka Lake and the Interlakes areas were some of the areas hardest hit by the storm.
According to Environment Canada, stronger gusts during the storm moved as fast as 70 to 90 km/hr.
