Canada’s still-flooded British Columbia province warned on Wednesday that flooding could worsen in the province as river levels are expected to rise with heavy rainfall in the coming days.
VANCOUVER, Canada —
“The next nine or 10 days could be quite challenging,” British Columbia’s Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth called on British Columbians to pay close attention to weather forecasts for the coming days. Some 80 millimeters of rain is forecast for Vancouver, Howe Sound, Whistler and the Fraser Valley in the Pacific coastal province, starting Wednesday morning and continuing until Friday.
Last week, rainstorms caused power outages as heavy wind and landslides damaged some parts of the province’s hydro system and British Columbia.
