Material flies off Vancouver high-rise construction site during windstorm (VIDEO)
Sunday’s powerful windstorm resulted in fallen trees, massive power outages, and a slew of wacky weather across Metro Vancouver.
It also blew building material off the top of an under-construction high-rise in Vancouver.
Video of the incident was captured and shared by Houston White.
“I saw a big metal pole go flying by first, and then the plywood started to come down,” he told Daily Hive. “Lucky no one was down in the driveway or on the bridge on-ramp.
