For the third straight year - (pretty incredible, no?) the Fred Page Cup Champs will be either the Vernon Vipers or the Powell River Kings. The Vipers have defeated the Kings the last two years in the final, going on to win the RBC Cup both times, winning in 6 games in 2008-2009 and 7 games last year. The series gets going April 1st and 2nd in Powell River.
It was 47 years ago YESTERDAY that Port Alberni was hit by a Tsunami from the Good-Friday Earthquake in Alaska.

And some more pictures. Are you PREPARED for as bad as 1964. Or as bad as Japan in 2011?
1964 inundation zones are in ORANGE. 1700 inundation zones are in YELLOW, and an estimation.
