'A monumental task': BC braces for more storms as repairs continue | FULL

B.C. is bracing for more storms to hit the province while crews are still working on critical repairs in areas hit by the previous storm.

The first of three atmospheric rivers is expected to arrive overnight Wednesday and into Thursday.

Deputy Premier Mike Farnworth said, “having several destructive storms in a row is not normal.”

He said the ground is already saturated and the damage caused by wildfires and droughts has only made the situation more difficult in some areas.

“It’s a monumental task,” Farnworth added.

Crews are still working to repair and strengthen the dike on the Sumas Prairie where many people remain out of their homes and farms and thousands of animals have died.

Not to mention this also happened in the 1940s and we could have prevented a lot of it if we would have just done upkeep. Again very very interesting

This is a lot more to do with maintaining the infrastructure that hasn't been done and I'm number of years just like the forest fires. Somehow it's like it's all being set up this way. Interesting

Nice of them to recognize the indigenous helping out so much and so nice to see them helping so much. I have so much respect for the indigenous.

Being a citezen, I know what you guys are gonna do. Your gonna prolong the situation and spend a bunch of money. I hope you fix the problem otherwise you can kiss goodbye the liberal party.

Building in floodplains and ignoring infrastructure maintenance is not wise.

"atmospheric rivers"

Don't you love all the new fear terminology? They figure the public is ready for more dread and despair since being terrorized by governments for the last 20 months.
