Slide alert issued in same B.C. community where four were killed
JOHNSONS LANDING, B.C. — A tiny British Columbia community where four people were killed in a landslide almost five years ago has been warned of another possible slide.
An evacuation alert has been issued for residents of Johnsons Landing on Kootenay Lake in southeastern B.C. after reports that Gar Creek was running muddy and materials on a slope above appeared to be shifting.
A slide from Gar Creek in July 2012 released a torrent of mud and debris, killing a man, his two daughters, and a German woman in a separate home.
It also destroyed or damaged several homes in the community.
