Storms and heavy rain bring flood watches to Vancouver Island and southwest B.C.

Summary

A series of Pacific storms is bringing heavy rain, strong winds and flood watches to Vancouver Island, the South Coast and parts of the Fraser Valley from November 10 to 12. Environment Canada and the B.C. River Forecast Centre warn of localized flooding, roads that may become impassable, landslides in susceptible areas and poor visibility, with some areas forecast to receive 150 to 250 millimetres. Victoria is shielded by a rain shadow and expected to get less rain. Earlier storms caused power outages and evacuations, and one death is reported. Reports differ on rainfall totals and coverage.
