BC awash with flood concerns
KAMLOOPS — Communities throughout much of B.C. continue to be threatened by rising flood waters.
Dave Campbell, head of the BC River Forecast Centre, provided what has now become a bi-weekly update via teleconference Friday.
“We’ve seen significant deterioration of conditions through the central and southeast parts of the province over the last few days,” he said. “In some ways, a worst case scenario leading into that with warm weather and heavy rainfall through many areas and superimposed on an extremely high snowpack.”
Campbell said the worst may not be over yet for deeply affected areas including Grand Forks — which has seen evacuations — and other areas in Boundary country.
