Torrential rains caused flooding and landslides in western Canada on Monday, November 15. Several cities in British Columbia are affected. Thousands of people have been evacuated and some are without electricity, hundreds more are stranded in their vehicles and an oil pipeline is at a standstill.
Several highways have been closed in areas already affected this summer by major forest fires. Tens of thousands of people across the province were affected by power cuts, according to Hydro BC. At the end of the day, emergency services said they had transported nine patients with minor injuries after a landslide.
To the people of Merritt and to British Columbians affected by the flooding: be careful. As Minister Blair said, we are going to be there to provide you with the support you need to help you deal with and recover from these floods and extreme conditions. https://t.co/CDzBVdmIXK
