Rainfall hit southern British Columbia on November 14th and 15th causing wide spread flooding, mudslides, and rockslides. On November 22, 2021, reports of another storm starting later that week began to spread with estimates of 70 millimeters to fall upon Fraser Valley and up to 100 millimeters in the North Shore mountains and Howe Sound area.
A washout has caused a closure of highway 3 in both direction in between Hope and Princeton while the House of Commons has been called upon to have an emergency debate on the flooding and how to mitigate damages. Highway 1 in Sumas has been temporarily reopened to essential travelers only.
