Sunshine Coast RCMP says there are several trees down across Highway 101 at Flume Road in Roberts Creek.
The Facebook post shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday evening said the highway is blocked in both directions.
According to the BC Hydro outage map, as of 8:30 p.m., Roberts Creek is without power, along with much of Elphinstone.
An update posted at 9 p.m. from BC Hydro for the Lower Mainland/Sunshine Coast said, "A strong windstorm and heavy rain are causing significant outages in the area. We have all available crews to ensure a strong response this evening, and crews will work throughout the night to restore as many customers as possible. Ongoing wind has made it difficult to begin restoration work in some areas safely. Some customers in the impacted areas will be without power overnight."
