B.C.’s Interior Braces for More Flooding with Rain on the Way

Date:

Emergency personnel are warning residents of B.C.’s Interior who live near low-lying areas near creeks and lakes to prepare for possible floods because of expected rains starting Thursday.

“We’ve just had really ongoing wet weather through the spring … We came into that cycle last week with a lot of snow melt and a lot of rain which saturated soils and really led to some dramatic conditions,” explained David Campbell, the head of the B.C. River Forecast Centre.

Campbell says more rain will start coming in on Thursday.

He says he expects a very similar type of response as last weekend when many parts of the region were flooded as water levels rose in rivers and creeks.
