Heavy rain sweeping across southern and central British Columbia has intensified an already difficult flood situation along numerous rivers, creeks and streams.
The forecast has prompted a warning from the provincial government for people living near the swelling waterways to be prepared to get out quickly.
The city of about 4,100 residents not far from the Canada-U.S. border already endured a major flood in 2018, losing 95 homes."I have great confidence in our flood mitigation program that will do the job it needs to do in the downtown core and protect industry," he said, while watching the rain come down from his office window on Friday.
High streamflow advisories have been issued for the Coquihalla River, the Nicola and Shuswap rivers and their tributaries, the upper Fraser River and the surrounding areas, and the Skeena region, including the Bulkley River. The Okanagan Indian Band has placed several properties on evacuation order in the neighbourhood of Parker Cove on Okanagan Lake, west of Vernon, where it said floodwaters from Whiteman Creek have eroded land and undercut trees.
