Does SKS know the date that Typhoon Freda hit the Lower Mainland of B.C.? I think it was in the late 1950's or early 1960's. I am starting to put together notes as an outline for my Family History. That was a very traumatic night. Thank you. Shirley Dumma Madeira Park, B.C. Canada sdumma@dccnet.com

Hi Shirley, Here's a good page to look at - has all kinds of "worst ever" Canadian stats: http://www.tv.cbc.ca/witness/weather/westories.htm Like: Typhoon Freda Hits B.C.: On October 12, 1962, Typhoon Freda struck the Lower Mainland killing 7 people and causing 10 million in damage. Twenty percent of Stanley Park was flattened as winds gusted at 145 km/hour. Pam Shirley Dumma wrote: > > Does SKS know the date that Typhoon Freda hit the Lower Mainland of B.C.?
