Powerful storm sweeps over Williams Lake area

System brought heavy rain and hail

Mother Nature was showing off over Williams Lake Thursday night as a thunder, lightning and hail storm rolled over the city.

The storm let loose just after 6 p.m. and caused several storm drains to back up and roadways to be overwhelmed with water temporarily.

City workers were out in the city keeping a watchful eye just after the storm, and members of the Williams Lake Fire Department were busy responding to alarms.

Power was knocked out at 6:42 p.m. to 2,246 BC Hydro residents. Crews had the power restored within a few hours.
