British Columbia: High waters from a landslide in British Columbia’s Chilcotin River are now flowing into the Fraser River, which could raise water levels by about a meter at Hope, B.C. This is expected to make the river conditions similar to spring runoff. There is a risk of debris, like trees, in the river. A landslide last week created a large lake behind it, and the overflow has already damaged river banks and removed at least one cabin. Despite the flood risk being low, Maple Ridge and New Westminster have closed riverfront areas as a precaution.
