VANCOUVER - Thousands of BC Hydro customers near the University of British Columbia's Point Grey campus were without power Tuesday morning.

Electricity went out before 7:30 a.m. because trees came down on power lines, according to BC Hydro.

Crews arrived to fix the damage, and power was restored by 8:40 a.m. The university said its classes and operations weren't affected.
