Also on Thursday 330pm my wife and kids were headed south just south of Duncan. Everyone was stopped on the highway thanks to trees coming down and another big one came down on a pickup truck 30 ft ahead.

Yesterday was an absolute gong show getting home (Duncan) from Nanaimo. Took 5.5 hours to get home.
This morning and afternoon were better but still took over 90 minutes each way (normally a 40-50 minute drive).
Every intersection between Nanaimo and Duncan was out of power for all 3 trips and no one directing traffic.
This was early on in the adventure (well, like 1.5 hours into it). Most of the other footage of me trying to get home didn't turn out well because it got dark and my cam sucks, but there were lots more trees and debris. Or it was me stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
