Flooding has taken place here in B.C. due to the heavy rains, snow melt, high tides and very strong south-east winds. This lethal combination has taken its toll on southern Vancouver Island towns. In the Duncan area and the Cowichan Valley, over 300 families were evacuated as the rivers burst their banks and water poured into homes in the flood plain. Here in the Comox Valley, we have also experienced some flooding. Some homes close to rivers have been damaged and families evacuated. However, this hasn't happened at the same scale as in the south. Personally, we have been fortunate with no water damage. Best wishes to all who read this.
