Kamloops braces for possible repeat of 2012 flooding
KAMLOOPS — As the city braces itself for more high water, many residents can’t help but compare river levels to those we saw in 2012.
The River Forecast Centre has predicted the water to reach similar levels, and city crews are taking precautions. The pier at Riverside Park has been closed to the public, and catch basins in various locations have been sealed.
With the North Thompson River likely to crest sometime today (June 2), the city is hoping it won’t see a repeat of 2012 flooding. But even as city crews and property owners hope for the best, they are preparing for the worst.
