Interior communities brace for weekend rain as floods forecasted in Okanagan
People in the British Columbia community of Grand Forks are hustling to get ahead of a deluge of melting snow and heavy rainfall after learning a costly lesson about flooding five years ago.
Baker says they are keeping a close eye on the weather and focusing on areas of the downtown to protect businesses and infrastructure from the rising waters. Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta says the water level in the village is the highest flood stage he’s seen, and sandbagging isn’t sufficient to keep the floodwaters at bay.
“I’ve been watching what’s going on in Cache Creek and other communities,” he said. “I empathize because we were there.”
