BC floods: Communities drenched, cut off again amid another atmospheric river 

Insane that it got to 45°C here, only 5 months ago.

Man I’m from bc we are a rain-forest and the hottest summer we have ever had this year 2021 is crazy

Many many years ago (before I was even born and I am older than dirt) my parents and 3 or 4 of my older brothers and sisters lived just off of the Ohio River in Covington, Kentucky. The Ohio River was flooding and my mother told me that for a couple of nights she went to sleep listening to flood water pouring into their basement windows. I asked her how on earth she could sleep with that going on and she said the water was rising so gradually that she knew there was no immediate danger. She said that one morning she woke up and sat up to slip her feet into her house shoes she had left right beside her bed and they were clear across the room because the water had come into their bedroom and floated her shoes away. She said that is the day that some people showed up in a boat and got the entire family out of that house. I can't even imagine. After I came along we never lived anywhere near a river so I never experienced a flood first hand. My heart goes out to the people in BC who have been so devastatingly effected by this terrible flood.

Prayers from Texas.

I feel 😪 for the farmer Mr Ed Friesen. He didn't get a warning or a chance to prepare for the first flood. He was busy bracing for the next flood, he says, "we sandbagged the barn doors and got all the equipment to high ground THIS TIME." I'm 🙏 for them all.

I'm praying that the situation will soon improve and that everyone's lives can get back to normal.

It is sad and scary to think this is only the tip of what is to come.

Thank you, Mr. Friesen, for being brave and soldiering forward.

My prayers and good wishes for British Columbia people 🤍🤍🤍 i hope and pray that they get through this extremely difficult time.

Not even the end of this weather craziness... Meteorologists released their recent winter outlook and BC is looking to have one major run of cold between Jan and March. Jet stream is going to be miles off the coast of Vancouver Island. Match that with anymore of this ungodly precipitation, and it could lead to some major snow buildup, and a scary thaw at the other end.

I am praying the rain stop, no flood, oh the mother nature to clam. Amen.

The Frasier Valley is a flood plain. 🤫

Pray for you guys safety

It rarely happens there but for us here in the tropics that is normal

This is not a flooding problem, but rather a poverty and laziness problem. If these local people from Abboersfd have enough business sense and willingness to work a little bit harder, save a coffee every day, and buy a nice home in Vancouver west close to ubc just like us, then they wouldn't have to go through all this. With dure rispect, I waant to say to those famers: stop crying, be a man!

Trudeau should start putting some cerb money and free cheques for everyone into building greenhouses so we can help grow some veggies and maybe offer some of that immigration fund to put bc farmers in a safe place and feed them and the livestock help us at home ,but maybe the east doesn't look at the west as home. For anyone

Atmospheric rivers, love how you make heavy rain sound scary. Rain forest is what is the west coast of Canada is.

Unfortunately us here in the farming area of California are wishing we had rain.. we have had mass fire every year for the past 4 years prayers for yall like he said how much can we take.

.......DON"Y FORGET PEOPLE, THEY DIDNT USE THE ALERM SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST ONE!.......... DON'T FORGET THEY DON"T TRULY CARE! ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDDDEEERRR THAN WORDSSSSSSS... The news is only meant to put fear into your life.... Not save your life.......... .......Stay blessed, Never Stressed......

I don't like the news but I need to watch it

Jeez this is wrong this is sad it was 45 Celsius and now floods.

The hard truth is we did this to our selves the earth is fighting back

Now knowing that authorities knew about the risks and their US counterparts received early warnings... Will anyone be held accountable???? Sadly I think not.

The question remains...do the millions of Canadians that have been denying climate change for their personal monetary benefit now concede that it is real?

Pathetic and desperate use of inflammatory language. Weather is always in flux, nature is change and never static, sometimes events are massive in response to various factors like sun cycles, Milankovich cycles, El Niño/La Niña, etc etc. The end.

Ok so can we get some money? Billions of dollars for the military but none for the people most affected by the climate?

Humidity and temperatures have been high, all month in November. 55 F nights.

Not to put blame on anybody but from the thumbnail photo you can clearly see that there should have been pilings on both sides of the river instead of just the one. I assume it had to do with cost cutting durning construction so again no fault to the people that built it they were just following the as-builts. But yeah. In a place that a highway had no right to exist you would think every precaution to make it as sturdy as possible to the forces of nature would have applied. But then again if Mother Nature wants to expand/create a new river channel, she will do just that regardless of hunan engineering.

I LOVE HOW THEY TOTALLY REMOVE MANY MANY TRESS JUST FOR IRRIGATION

Canada needs to sue Washington state for the destruction caused by their poor water management protocol.

That soldier at 2:54 is not a major, he is a warrant officer................get it right global

3rd Atmospheric river... in a week. Sounds like a new pattern that has developed. Although from what I can hear, people in the city of Vancouver are all oblivious. I guess that ignorance is bliss for them.

Obey and pray to God is the only answer for flood relief.

Wait so BC was hit a month ago, and then two weeks ago newfoundland gets the same treatment, and now BC again?

Atmospheric river? The universe is electric

سبحان الله الخالق العزيز الجبار المنتقم العظيم ، ان الله على كل شيء قدير بيده ملكوت السماوات والارضين .

Key word..... Valley! Wake up humans, stop building in “valleys”! DUH!!🤷🏻‍♂️

When will the public wake up?... 2021:💉+💉+💉=3 2022:💉+💉+💉=6 2023:💉+💉+💉=9 2024:💉+💉+💉=12 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

My ex lived their. She’s.. gone.

The Okavango Delta River is being impacted; countries Namibia and Botswana are being affected as are the ecosystems and indigenous people, their jobs and homes, etc., are at the mercy of Canadian company ReconAfrica who is drilling for oil and gas. The rains are beyond your control, but a moratorium can be called to save the Okavango Delta by stopping the drilling and these man made problems.

prayers to the canadian living in flooded area

Nice one

Your moral arrears bill for invasion and occupation, destruction of the environment, cultural destruction, forced conversion, child kidnapping and genocide has come due - with interest.

Watching the water rise again....not as bad as last time.....someone better those people where the water's up the eaves that this time won't be as bad. I don't think they're feeling the love.

Yeah well unfortunately people don't get to choose what mother nature does.

GOOD FOR YOU PEOPLES. YOU ASKED FOR IT. KEEP DESTROYING THE FORESTS

Well no more watching these videos... i canno longer dislike.

Higher taxes that will fix your problem.

not "ford" it's "ferd". it's a city, not a car!

So it's an atmospheric river now. Well I guess that sounds more ominous than a heavy rainfall warning. I suppose it'll help to get the Henny Penny's and Chicken Little's something new to put in they're 1984 dictionary. I'm assuming the next time it snows and we have a white out, we'll have to refer to it as an atmospheric avalanche. When it's foggy I'm going to call it a sensory deprivation assault. Oh boy I'm on a roll. Lol.

Cloud seeding

The world seems to be ending.

thats the way she goes.

It rains there almost on a daily basis 365 days a year , I was there 2 yrs ago Christmas Eve , and guess what it was raining 🌧

Gosh - it’s so much easier if reporting & weather stops at an imaginary land border 🙄

BC Land Is Sinking --- All right Blueberries in the deep, sow but not reap Under skies ominous blue grey Had to forsake my home that's a lake So all we could do was pray My memory is muddy, what's this state that I'm in? BC Land is sinkin', man, and I don't wanna swim Premier John, what's wrong, what's goin' on? Few forecasters at the RFC Red sky in mornin', early flood warnin' You gotta do what you know is key Ain't got no dry belongings, ain't got no souvenirs What does the future hold now, I'm thinkin' 'bout those years Pickin' out highlights of the scenery Tulameen, Similkameen, Sumas Prairie Coquihalla, Chilliwack, and the Fraser Nicola, Spius, Coldwater, see you later I had my feet in the river, now the sandbags on the banks Looked up to the Lord above and said, "Hey, man, thanks" Sometimes I feel so bad I gotta scream Then said that guy Noah, "I know exactly what you mean" He said, he said, I swear to God he said Oh, no No, yeah! My memory is clearcut, what's this state that I'm in? BC Land is floodin', man, and I don't wanna swim BC Land needs new floor plan 'cause I don't wanna swim Swim

BC should build a water pipeline to Cali ASAP.

Its called heavy rain

I hope the health department doesn't get involved

Pipeline this down to the SW US thanks!

Mother Nature is very angry with you. She’s relentless wow.

🙏

Stock up on those can goods ! and forget the Milk and Bread !

How did u save the weed out there the plants for god sake

could of been snow guess we are in a greenhouse with humidity

Fyi, la nina plus grand solar minimum the dormancy of the sun, lots more globally 2 come

If he is a real mennonite he would know he will take what life gives him

This really is unfortunate terms of events but when you build below sea level this is bound to happen

And no rain at all for California

This is only the beginning it's global warming really kicking in

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Mother Nature is pissed .Wants her land back

That is what the military should do, give succor to the people in distress and not go abroad to fight American wars. Salut to the armed forces.

///A message from Christ//// leave your idols and come back and repent from idols worship. 3 floods in 1 month (never happened in the Canadian history)

Previously the land there functioned as a use-value for farming and cattle grazing, distributing products, etc., but today those occupations are completely suppressed by a natural occurrence caused by the same activity. Nothing natural about this deluge. The deluge is man-made from carbon fueled activity. But people refuse to accept this until it comes into their back yard.🧐

F we are cruel to nature , it bites back so much harder.

just resettle those folks it's not going to get better

Too bad you cannot divert it to the parched USA states, South of you who need the water…

I nooksacked in my shorts

Water tapes

Time for horrigan to call another snap election

Look up TOKYO CATHEDRAL FLOOD TUNNELS ... time to care

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH AS IN THE DAYS OF LOT WHEN WICKEDNESS WAS GREAT DESTROYER COMES WITHOUT FAITH ASD KNOWING GOD.. NO ONE CAN STOP STORM ONLY JESUS.. THE LORD OF SPIRITS.. DESTROYER IS SPIRITS OF EVIL ACCUSER OF NATIONS.

whatever happened to the pineapple express lol

Omg

Lol Abbots Ford

Please Remember . Sumas Prairie .....Was once call LAKE SUMAS . It was drained and water was diverted to create Farm Land . This rainfall is NORMAL. Just little more than normal .

Stop talking to ghost's , sell your trucks :) !

Hope? Rambo, can you help?

Rain in bc come on people its always been wet you'd think people would be prepared it's always been wet time to stop building on the water front 🙃

😥😥😥

I know this is nature cruel response to human . Us being hit hard and the beating still will gonna get worst and worst unless we stop beating nature too .

Funny how the red abruptly stops at the fake line!!

This horrifically changed pattern of weather has me, again, wondering how people that believe in any god explains this and other natural disasters, horrific accidents, heinous crimes and all forms of violence/abuse toward children, women, men, animals and the planet. Where is anyone’s god in all of these things? How do any of you believers explain how you continue to “believe”? Does that “belief” provide any balm (look it up) for those in pain? Nope. Not even a bit. Thinking we all need to “Let Go (of god[s])” and start really “worshipping” science, knowledge, facts, and things we “know”; not “believe”. Will wait for any replies…………. Still waiting…….

it is to be expected in this area ....

This is like the Shining except the whole of bc is a Indian grave yard.

Atmospheric River” Floods Western Canada From November 13 to 15, 2021, a weather event referred to as an “atmospheric river” brought record-setting rainfall to areas of British Columbia in western Canada. Twenty locations broke all-time daily rainfall records, with some areas receiving more than 250 millimeters (10 in.) of rain during the three-day storm. The rainfall caused floods and landslides that blocked highways, triggered evacuations, and stranded travelers.

So who in BC still doesn't believe in global warming ? Its going to be 11 C here in the Kootenays today.

There will be no rest for the wicked!! THE MOST HIGH THE CREATOR IS HERE & HE'S KEEPING HIS PROMISE TO HIS CHILDREN( THE SO CALLED BLACKS)!!!!

First!
