Flooding in BC

I have been happy that it has been rain and not snow, and now I see that this was not good. The ground was already saturated, and then we had a massive rain system come and pour more - lots more.

Here is a map that show where and how bad:

At one point all the highways between the interior of BC (& the rest of Canada) and the coast were closed and covered in mudslides.

An example of the chaos: at one point there were mudslides on both sides of Hope, and Hope was without power.
