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

Summary

Successive storms have struck British Columbia's south and west coasts, with Environment Canada issuing orange rainfall warnings for parts of Vancouver Island, Howe Sound and the Sea to Sky corridor, forecasting 150 to 250 millimetres in some areas through Thursday. Flood watches cover the South Coast, Vancouver Island and parts of the Central Coast and northern Fraser Valley, and wind warnings are in effect in northern areas. Officials warn of localized flooding, roads becoming impassable and landslides. The storms have knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of BC Hydro customers. Two deaths and one injury have been reported, including a pedestrian struck by a car in Vancouver in the rain.
