The pier split in half shortly after 2 p.m. today, leaving one person stranded on the far end. A man stranded by yesterday's collapse of the White Rock pier has been rescued.

The storm – with gusts of up to 100 km/h and described by BC Hydro as “one of the most severe storms BC Hydro has experienced in years” – has dealt the 100-year-old structure a vicious beating.
