Heavy storms and flood watches hit southern British Columbia, one dead

Summary

Successive Pacific storms have struck southern British Columbia, including Vancouver Island, the South Coast and the Fraser Valley, with Environment Canada issuing orange rainfall warnings and the B.C. River Forecast Centre issuing flood watches. Forecasts call for 120 to 250 millimetres of rain through Thursday, with some areas possibly exceeding 250 millimetres, and localized flooding, impassable roads and landslides are possible. One person has died and one has been injured. Thousands lost power during the storms, with BC Hydro reporting about 135,000 customers without electricity at the peak, and evacuation orders were issued in the Village of Zeballos over landslide risk. Reports differ on some details, including the exact rainfall totals and the circumstances of the death.
