The flooding has forced the closure of Highway 97, with detours for southbound drivers from the Cariboo and Prince George onto Highway 24 at 100 Mile House.
The flooding situation in Cache Creek has worsened, with a total of five properties now under evacuation orders, water flowing through the village fire department building and detours in place as Highway 97 at Highway 1 is underwater and closed to traffic.
On May 2, the BC River Forecast Centre updated its high stream flow advisory to a flood warning for the Bonaparte River and surrounding areas. Officials are urging everyone to stay away from the fast-flowing waterways and unstable river and creek banks.
