About half of B.C. was under flood watches, warnings or advisories, after heavy rain late last week and a bout of record-setting temperatures that melted the snowpack
A statement from the Ministry of Forests said rainfall over the weekend was less severe than anticipated and that rivers that “had challenges” last week were expected to stabilize in the coming days.
Waters in both the Kettle and Granby rivers, which meet in the village, are running fast and represent a significant hazard, said Mayor Everett Baker. Grand Forks’s mandatory evacuation areas included 34 properties in the Johnson Flats neighbourhood south of the city, as well as six properties to the city’s east, near Grand Forks Airport.Cache Creek was hit particularly hard, with water flowing through homes and businesses.
“They got the water in the channel, and we’re optimistic it will remain that way through the melt,” he said. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary also had active evacuation alerts for communities such as Fruitvale, Christina Lake and Midway.
