Sumas Lake: Flood regression 10 days apart seen in before & after montage 12-3-2021

Footage filmed 10 days apart shows what was once the Sumas Lake, going back to its origins in Southern BC. The first ground images show flood waters at sunset on Tuesday November 23rd and the subsequent aerial images show the conditions on the morning of Friday December 3rd. Significant regression in water levels can be observed in the December 3rd footage captured ten days after first footage, both filmed in the same area. The general zone covered is at the corner of Campbell Road and Town Road on the border of Abbotsford and Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. What is now called the Sumas Prairie, a vast agricultural land for corn and blueberry, was once a lake. In the recent turmoil over the Lower Mainland, disastrous flooding occurred following the passage of three atmospheric rivers in as many weeks. This had the effect of filling the plains that most of Abbotsford and Chilliwack are composed of, with an enormous volume of water. The levels rose catastrophically along the Fraser Valley, leaving thousands stranded or without a home. Hot zones have started reopening and residents can see hope of returning home.

Thanks for including river #otter mom and kids about 2-1/2 minutes in. I hope the speedboats, and gasoline, pesticides, manure, corpses and whatever else is in floodwaters are not a huge impact to their health or to other aquatic and marine life.

The otters and the herons don't seem at all inconvenienced.

[@musicbycandlelightmbc3225]

Is there an estimated guess as to when the water will finally recede completely? Do you know? How are the main roads/bridges now?

Time to build a giant, I mean GIANT, bonfire in the middle of the "lake" to evaporate the water. Could be a great coming together of the community. Lots of material to burn. Go for it!
