Notes
March storms hit. Kitimat was unusual force this year. The above picture shows some of the damage at the Yacht Club basin early in the month when high winds tore five boats from their moorings and beached them on dry ground. This week rising waters in the Kitimat River brought down more of the winter's debris.
