yeah and they warned our government . and what did they do ? NOTHING they declared a state of emergency 3 days after the place all went to hell . I hate these usless fucks !
I just went to the website for the Governor of Washington State and they declared a State Of Emergency due to severe weather damage on Nov 15th, that’s the morning that the flood waters rushed into the Sumas basin. An emergency order on Monday would not have affected the situation, the flooding was already engulfing the community. State Of Emergency allows certain powers, like expropriating property and expediting cargo. It would not have made much difference to the rush of floodwaters or evacuation orders, sadly.
Inslee declared the State of Emergency on Monday November 15th. Had BC done the same, the flooding had already happened. That said: BC Gov't knew this was coming. Inslee knew it was coming. There ABSOLUTELY should have been warnings. They have the Twitter, FB profiles to do it. They have ways to communicate pending emergencies. The BC government dropped the ball in a HUGE way.
This is incredibly sad, time of sorrows. Praying for everyone who has had to go through this devastation. Thank you, Mike for your accurate reporting of earth's changes that are happening all over the world

The devastation 🥺... i didn't know it was THIS bad. This is so incredibly sad to see, but also, a perfect example of the necessity for preparing. Thanks for sharing Mike. Prayers for everyone that experienced loss, and prayers for humanity 💜🙏🏼
It is true. We should respect our nature all the time. Hope they won’t build houses every where anywhere any more. Stop building n save our Mother Nature please to Area Mayor and Realtors.. Money comes and go . Stop doing greedy.
Prepare? And in which way should these people should have been prepared for something like this? It's not like it's happened before. Even if they would have been prepared they still would have lost everything. Everything is under water. This is no time for people to keep hoarding food and other necessities. With everything that's been happening for the past 2 years it has left all of us with less and less, everything is alot more expensive, people loosing their jobs, their homes and alot more homeless people. People need to stop hoarding until things get better for everyone. If it wasn't for the supposed Pandemic the BC people would have had all the help they needed in a matter of hours. I understand it's good to be prepared but, it's not always possible and especially for the poorest of people. There's more poor people now than there ever was in Canada. I certainly hope they will not rebuild there, there's no point.
@@caty9995 i didn't say HOARD. I said PREPARE!! THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. A go bag with important documents, enough food to get by for a couple days, seasonally appropriate change of clothing, extra car keys, etc. I know things are bad and I understand the gravity of the situation. I hate to be the one to tell you, but things are NOT going to get better. If EVERYONE is prepared, there are more people that are willing and able to help out their neighbors with their extras. Poor people can help to prepare with extra food with the help of food banks or growing their own food. I've been growing my own food, and have stored it appropriately. And yes it's bad in that area of BC right now, but i highly doubt other people preparing did much to stop others from buying the necessary things they needed. I KNOW for a fact, me storing foods that I've grown impacted nothing for anyone else, especially since I'm in the US. And guess what, THIS IS WORLDWIDE.

OMG, it has been such a tough go for everyone, this is another blow, it is shocking to see! Thinking of everybody in Vancouver, much love from Newfouldland. 💕💞 🙏🏻
Thank you for your kind words. Just want to let you know most of Vancouver is fine, the horrible flood occur in a small city north east about 1 and 1/2 hour drive outside of Vancouver. In fact the Abbottsford city itself is fine, the flood more to the south of the city in the farmland closer to Washington State.
Vancouver’s biggest issues is they are holding so much cargo and they have had to limit gasoline for the sake of emergency and construction vehicles. Also, grain from the Prairies and other cargo is not making it to the ports for export because the rail lines and highways are all damaged. Merritt has really been the place that has seen the worst of this year…the wildfires evacuations in summer and now flooding that is yet to recede. The entire town. Terrible.
I traveled through the region from Sumas, WA in 2014 to Kelowna. I offer prayers of resiliency and patience as the region begins the recovery process, especially with detours around the collapsed Coaghilla Highway.
My mom and my three sisters and their kids all live in that area in that film clip. I hope some of them have the brains to get out of there and go to higher ground it’s not going to be safe or healthy for a couple weeks… maybe months I am not sure of the effect that flooding and rotting livestock can cause… It is going to be a hell of a cleanup effort!
Word from the wise; if you live near a river bend, find high ground. A river meanders for the first half of its life, until it finds/creates the easiest course to nearest, lowest elevation. Change is constant, dont get in its way.
I have most/all of my close relatives right under the picture in the film above. My moms old lady she thinks that she is the boss of everything and just signing checks will be enough. My mom is libel to get herself in big trouble because her bank savings won’t help her in a national emergency. Mom has a daughter who is my sister who is able and capable and she lives really close to mom and I sure hope that she has enough persuasion with mom and can help get mom the hell out of there if she has to. I think it is best if the whole pack of them all of mom‘s children and grandchildren get out of there and find higher ground. It has not begun to stink yet but this area is going to stink like hell beginning in the next couple days because there are tens of millions of live stock that have died in that flood. Livestock doesn’t just disappear when it dies in a flood it starts to stink and hit pollutes everything that area in the flooded part of that picture and lots of other parts in Southwest BC are going to be unfit for humanity to live in. I am only about 5 miles to the west of where that filming is taking place I am safe for now I don’t have any kids (except one who is the master of everything around him he doesn’t need me). This is Canada we don’t have a huge population…. The north western United States around these so-called Pacific Northwest is getting it really bad all of their productive land/farmland is flooded also the same as ours.
@@thecurrentuniverse that prairie was a lake until they pumped it dry a century ago to make it into farmland. It’s called a basin because it’s basically a big bowl below sea level. Sadly, it was only a matter of time.
Heartbreaking …………. Easy to cry by watching this video …………and this beautiful music does not help ……. Thinking of everyone affected by this situation ……… prayers from Alberta .
I get it I'm a pretty ignorant American...but in 42 years I don't ever recall devastating floods in Canada. Am I wrong? This at this magnitude is totally new isn't it?
It clearly doesn't happen on a yearly basis, like it does in a few places in America, but there are lots of people talking about a disastrous flood in Canada in 2013, and I think I saw at least one or two other bad floods mentioned as well, so, though it's not common, it's apparently not unheard of.
My prayers are all that I have to offer in support of the recovery of your way of life... May you all be bolstered by the genuine concern of those whom you may never know... The loss is great... ...the acts of heroism greater still... 🇿🇦
Positive thoughts and intentions, Godspeed on your recovery 🙏 thank you for posting 🙏. Operating from the position of Love is key in these otherwise confusing and fearful times!!! Be the change, it's catchy!!! The evil is coming to the light so keep your armour tight brothers and sisters the principalities of power we face know no earthly bounds!!!
you're also looking at...sumss lake that was drained 100 years ago also known as a bowl because it's below sea level thus draining water from..... Washington State because....the Nooksack river runs downhill... whoever decided to drain the lake was very foolish. pumps have been running constantly to keep water out
First I saw of the entire slide, in the sun. I just got home to the Wack (Chilliwack, about 10k east of that flood plane,) at 5PM last evening. Sitting in that cold, wet, windy, hot mess, watching my roads closures, at home, and away; then evacuation notices, a block east of my home, across the street from the river, was rather stressful. I was stuck about 100 yards east of that line shown in video, in my 53', needing fuel as my bunk heater had quit. Ran out the day before, however passenger vehicles don't have bunk heaters, and frost appeared on Tuesday forward. The pipeline people had the small towns rooms booked long before. Rail is out for months just to assess, let alone rebuild. Ditto for Hwys. We've one left, the Crowsnest. Remember the Hope Slide? Eyeah, THAT Hwy. Interesting times ..
Notice: -- the railways say they will have repairs done by middle of next week (CBC radio) and goods will once again flow east to west and vice versa. Goods are also moving both east and west via Washington highways and north again to areas in Canada not impacted by this catastrophe. BC has entered into a special agreement with Washington in which they will assist Canada's movements of goods, meaning in essence they won't delay trucks crossing the border. My sister's family in Yarrow was given an evacuation order 2 days ago. At the moment my thoughts are with farmers who have suffered property damage and loss of livestock. They will likely not be able to submit insurance claims because they built on a flood plain. It's simply devastating! Stay safe, Carrol!

I have heard that this lull in the weather system it’s just the eye of a storm and then we have more to go. Unless the wind direction changes….. The pacific wind blows the weather system right into the coastal mountain range I fear we have more coming like we’ve had over the last week.
Just donated 1k to Canadian Red Cross to support people who are affected. I passed Abbotsford the evening before the flooding. The rainfall was so heavy!

Oh dear Lord, what a disaster! These poor people lost everything. And so many animals are now dead. I live on Southern Vancouver Island and, thus far, the area where I reside sustained no damage. But the rainy season has just begun, so who knows what we can expect next?

@@truthhurts5158 -- I'm not discussing climate change. I simply commented on the flood situation in British Columbia and how the rains didn't cause flooding (yet!) in the area where I happen to reside.
@@melstiller8561 It was a general comment on how people are all screaming its climate change but no one mentions it's a flood plain and it was bound to happen and probably will again,
We're dealing with a similar situation here in Louisiana. Hurricane Ida was devastating! The worst one yet no matter what they tell us. They're saying it was a 4 but high tech wind gages say otherwise. They broke at 100 MPH! Even old timers say it's the worst. We have people living in tents and some in their vehicles. Stores and businesses closing down and moving out...even insurance companies leaving the state. And things are only predicted to get worse. Only God can help us now.
The music was beautiful! Dew won't say who performed it! , or reply. Now no music! Copy right? Still not to late to be kind and answer!!!! Was my post blocked? No public reply either!
sadly it was only a matter of time...here where I live, we will have the same issue. The problem is the mentality and the thought process of our city council people for allowing people to build on flood plains.
Wow wow, I’m so devastated to see one of our Provences in such disaster. I hope our government and other Provences come to aid. My heart goes out to everyone affected. Prayers from Montreal.
I've been thru 3 floods > lived with water covering my live electrical outlets, a foot deep, filled with filthy floating human flotsam, watched a 15 foot high by 15 ft. wide by 30 ft long chunk of family property break off & slide into the creek ( almost taking 2 pickup trucks with it), and fetching our dumb dog from where the creek carried him 15 miles away...I Really do not want to have to deal with a fourth flood, Thank God for His Mercy & Covenenants ❣🙏🙌🕊♾
Grateful for everyday... Thanks for checking in and sharing your experience... I went throught State Of Emergency Food that happened in Calgary, Alberta back in 2015 ... Amazing and crazy force of nature... Changing the Wolrd overnight...
Omgosh. This is heartbreaking. I pray for the ppl who are in this situation. I believe in God and I believe in his word. I pray for anyone who is lost to sin and I pray their eyes will be open and their hearts open to receiving salvation. I feel we are truly not long for this world.
This looks like a job opportunity for Americans to help them replace what they have lost. Do on to others as you would have others do on to you. Our prayers are also needed. Thanksgiving a time to be thankful for what we have and a time to give.
I’m so sorry to anyone who lost their farms and/or homes. This is so devastating to see bc washed away in flood like this.. My heart feels like it’s broken seeing this, I couldn’t imagine the hurt you’re all feeling right now 💔💔💔
They say judge a country not by its sky scrapers or biggest tourist attractions, but rather by how well its infrastructure holds up in severe weather. Unfortunate to see Canada fails the test.
Thank you DEW. , for this report as we hear so little about this and other earth events that receive so little attention on our U.S. news media. Wishing everyone in B.C. a quick recovery and saftey..
So SAD & SHOCKING to see so much water. Just like overnight.. Here in South Africa 🇿🇦 Most of our dams are almost empty, droughts, animals dying fields become like deserts. Just goes to show. We need to look after our planet. Be respectful for what we have. And how to be prepared for our Future, Future and their Future. Condolences to the family and friends of B.C. ( Let It Be. God will have an answer - Let It Be. Amen).
Hey Mike I used to live in Chilliwack and to see this is so sad. I know it's not uncommon for that area but I lived there for 6 years and we never got this kind of disaster. Plus the music you chose is also sad. Doesn't help.... 😔
Yeah that music is about all I can take all of my close relatives live in that picture frame. I am worried the roads are very screwed up right now and it is easy for simple mistakes when driving (fleeing) in a panic can turn into terrible mistakes…
Very sad to see. They should not be building a town on the bottom of a lake. Poor planning. i hope everyone will be ok and I feel very bad for the animals that died from our lack of planning.
It’s heartbreaking to see so much destruction and imagining the pain and suffering of the local residents of this area !! May you have the strength needed to deal with all this and the fortitude to push thru and not give up … hang in there better days will come … the darkness does not last forever after the darkness night the light always shines thru !! Many blessings to you all . 💜 On a side note the music you chose to accompany this report is absolutely beautiful would you mind telling me the composer and who plays it and of course the name , many thanks 🙏 💜!!
I think once once the cleanup and recovery is done we’re going to have to rethink some of the engineering around this valley… Around this whole watershed!! Theme so-called Pacific Northwest is geographically isolated I look at this as a multi national disaster… I think Washington state has 10 or 12 million people and BC has perhaps 4 million… and nested between the mountains in the Fraser valley are I don’t know maybe 5 million people something like that…. And the Fraser Valley area is where the majority of the population is in both southwestern BC and northwestern Washington…
It will happen again over and over. Its what you get when you build your farms on flood plains. This at one time was Soomas lake they drained it to make farm land water is just claiming what is hers and will again. Stupid people need to realize that you can't win over nature it goes where it was meant to be.
@@truthhurts5158 you are right it will keep happening specially since it was a lake before … nature has its own way humans try to tinker with it , they think they can outsmart it but eventually it will win . In the new stories I read there was no mention of the fact of being lake at one time ! Thanks for the info !!!
Around 13 thousand years ago there was substantial flooding in this valley in ways that, from an archeological point of view, seem familiar to this. Around 0.53 seconds on the video there's a series of mounds in front of the farm that have a very unique and particular arrangement that just manages to stay just right above the flooding....
I talked to a Shaman a few months ago, he said this is was going to happen and to get to high ground because it is only going to get worse, especially from the east of Canada. He advised we stock up on food and prepare.
Thoughts and prayers!! The biggest problem is how do the engineers prevent this from happening again……. The root issue needs to be addressed first, and only then can the rebuilding happen…….
We have known about this for two generations and continued to talk about it. But there is no change to infrastructure or maintenance procedures. We just continue to take from the land and give nothing in return. As though everything is free. Then cry, complain, and blame. You talk of change. Than work on infrastructure change for a couple of years. Then it goes back to what you can take for free. Then it happens again thinking no one will remember. And the greed just keeps growing.
no disrespect but how is this "unbelievable" if you look at the land around there it is completely flat and almost sea level except where the foothills push out of the land. in the lowlands/nederlands/netherlands they have beat the ocean a million ways. build dykes, put bike paths on them and use windmills to pump out the basins/polders. disappointing we are a "developed" nations and so behind in so many ways
We got a month's worth of rain in just over 24 hours, that doesn't just happen regularly so its pretty unbelievable, especially given the amount of damage it caused to hwy 5 from the dozens of land slides.
Hey Scott. Just correcting one thing. Quote almost sea level…..Abbotsford and Richmond are both BELOW sea level so I’ve been told? . Concerns of a tsunami for many years this is what I’ve heard. The big one is still expected .
Certainly the damage and heartache is terrible but a lot more thought needs to go into the rebuilding. Much of the farmland that flooded use to be a tidal area, man made changes and mother nature did what mother nature does best. Bring in Dutch engineers who know how to manage reclaimed tidal lands.
This is nature showing man how small they are. Building in a lake bottom, and crying when it rains. Tornado Alley residents won't learn. These people won't either.
YES, unbelievable. My heart aches for these people. When I say be prepared for anything THIS is a perfect example. I had to start Life over ONCE and it was the hardest thing I ever did. So many sleepless nights wondering how it is all going to work out.
What does a person expect when you build on a lake bed that has pumps running 24/7 to keep the levels down.. I think it could of been really bad if the pumps also quit.
Where is the music now? I can't hear it! That music was perfection! Just wanted to hear it!so rare ! Please bring it back or have mercy and share the name!!! Th U!
The dam at the very end really tells the story. All these places made arable by dams are in greater peril now that "heavier rainfall events" are the norm.
Maybe if the BC government spent less time on increasing the costs of tailings dams to make mining companies suffer and to kill jobs, and focused on actual dams that break and cause people to suffer, this wouldn't happen. Priorities, people...
An eclipse is just one moon or planets shadow on another moon or planet. And last time I checked, shadows lasting a few hours on the moon don't and can't affect the weather here on earth. This was just a fairly rare combination of weather events that caused much more than the usual amount of rain. But if you can give a scientific based explanation a bit more modern than the Dark Ages about why I'm wrong about that eclipse?
@@turningpoint6643 but it does. I mainly just meant because of the full moon effect on the tides and water but also look up the article called "Moon’s orbital wobble can add to sea-level rise and flooding" where they talk about how when "the times when high tides are elevated most" are "coincidentally... also the times when we can see solar or lunar eclipses." And look up "Phase of the moon affects amount of rainfall." The moon does have real effects. There's a correlation spiritually too as eclipses can be a marker of difficult times and bad omens for many people so it can seem very ominous for the moon to be obscured during something like that. That's personal to people but nonetheless has real felt effects. ☮️✨🌊🌕🌧️
@@WildAlchemicalSpirit No, shadows from an eclipse do not affect the tides. And that shadow was simply caused by the Earth's fairly rare alignment to both the sun and moon. So how could it have that "extra effect". And I already know how the moons gravity does affect the tides. It's why we have tides in the first place. This flood still wasn't caused by high tides so why even mention that. It was strictly from an abnormal but not unprecedented amount of rain. So again, exactly how does the earths shadow cast on the moons surface for a few hours affect the rain fall in B.C. as you seem to think. Because completely illogical and Neanderthal level superstition doesn't affect the rain fall either. And if it did, then why only in this part of North America.
@@turningpoint6643 dang it, must you be so pedantic? I know the shadow isn't affecting the tides. That's not what I was saying. Please, just lay off. You're very rude. It's not your duty to correct everyone. Also, Neanderthals weren't stupid, and it's ridiculous for you to compare me to that. To clarify further, all I was ever actually saying in terms of physical effects was simply about the moon itself. I did not mean to imply that the eclipse literally was affecting things. All I was saying is that the full moon was affecting things which happened to be an eclipse moon, so I referred to it as such. I hope you can finally understand and let me be.
@@turningpoint6643 and by the way, in case you didn't notice, B.C. is right on the ocean. High tides definitely were a factor in the flooding. The tides don't just affect the coast but also the rivers. There were lots of areas that were inundated because of the very high tides, such as White Rock Pier and the town of Cedar.
Is it really unbelievable. When flood planes flood? This is mostly farm land. That used to be river bed before a flood changed the path of it. That is reliant on the occasional flood so to keep the land productive.
I'm from Abbotsford. It breaks my heart. It is unbearably hard to look at what happened. Thank you all for your support and kind words.

OMG, it has been such a tough go for everyone, this is another blow, it is shocking to see! Thinking of everybody in Vancouver, much love from Newfouldland. 💕💞 🙏🏻
Thank you for your kind words. Just want to let you know most of Vancouver is fine, the horrible flood occur in a small city north east about 1 and 1/2 hour drive outside of Vancouver. In fact the Abbottsford city itself is fine, the flood more to the south of the city in the farmland closer to Washington State.
Vancouver’s biggest issues is they are holding so much cargo and they have had to limit gasoline for the sake of emergency and construction vehicles. Also, grain from the Prairies and other cargo is not making it to the ports for export because the rail lines and highways are all damaged.
Merritt has really been the place that has seen the worst of this year…the wildfires evacuations in summer and now flooding that is yet to recede. The entire town. Terrible.
I can imagine a Newfie’s reaction to this 😂 love that place the people really know how to treat one another, Much love❤️
Vancouver is fine.

I traveled through the region from Sumas, WA in 2014 to Kelowna. I offer prayers of resiliency and patience as the region begins the recovery process, especially with detours around the collapsed Coaghilla Highway.

My mom and my three sisters and their kids all live in that area in that film clip.
I hope some of them have the brains to get out of there and go to higher ground it’s not going to be safe or healthy for a couple weeks… maybe months I am not sure of the effect that flooding and rotting livestock can cause…
It is going to be a hell of a cleanup effort!

Word from the wise; if you live near a river bend, find high ground. A river meanders for the first half of its life, until it finds/creates the easiest course to nearest, lowest elevation. Change is constant, dont get in its way.
Sending my prayers and love to everyone being effected by this event. 🥰❤️🙏✨
Send money instead.
I have most/all of my close relatives right under the picture in the film above.
My moms old lady she thinks that she is the boss of everything and just signing checks will be enough.
My mom is libel to get herself in big trouble because her bank savings won’t help her in a national emergency.
Mom has a daughter who is my sister who is able and capable and she lives really close to mom and I sure hope that she has enough persuasion with mom and can help get mom the hell out of there if she has to.
I think it is best if the whole pack of them all of mom‘s children and grandchildren get out of there and find higher ground.
It has not begun to stink yet but this area is going to stink like hell beginning in the next couple days because there are tens of millions of live stock that have died in that flood.
Livestock doesn’t just disappear when it dies in a flood it starts to stink and hit pollutes everything that area in the flooded part of that picture and lots of other parts in Southwest BC are going to be unfit for humanity to live in.
I am only about 5 miles to the west of where that filming is taking place I am safe for now I don’t have any kids (except one who is the master of everything around him he doesn’t need me).
This is Canada we don’t have a huge population…. The north western United States around these so-called Pacific Northwest is getting it really bad all of their productive land/farmland is flooded also the same as ours.
@@thecurrentuniverse that prairie was a lake until they pumped it dry a century ago to make it into farmland. It’s called a basin because it’s basically a big bowl below sea level. Sadly, it was only a matter of time.

Thank you so much for sharing. This is incredibly sad. Thank you for portraying is so reverently. Your work was beautifully done.
I never realized it,but BC has become a hostile place, of fires and floods. It is no longer the home I grew up in.
Right as the winter is just starting too.
I get it I'm a pretty ignorant American...but in 42 years I don't ever recall devastating floods in Canada. Am I wrong? This at this magnitude is totally new isn't it?
It clearly doesn't happen on a yearly basis, like it does in a few places in America, but there are lots of people talking about a disastrous flood in Canada in 2013, and I think I saw at least one or two other bad floods mentioned as well, so, though it's not common, it's apparently not unheard of.
How about the devastating flood of opiates from china? Or the devastating flood of rampant leftism destroying every industry western canada?
Love BC love to all affected.❤🙏
My prayers are all that I have to offer in support of the recovery of your way of life...
May you all be bolstered by the genuine concern of those whom you may never know...
The loss is great...
...the acts of heroism greater still...

you're also looking at...sumss lake that was drained 100 years ago also known as a bowl because it's below sea level thus draining water from..... Washington State because....the Nooksack river runs downhill...
whoever decided to drain the lake was very foolish. pumps have been running constantly to keep water out
First I saw of the entire slide, in the sun. I just got home to the Wack (Chilliwack, about 10k east of that flood plane,) at 5PM last evening.
Sitting in that cold, wet, windy, hot mess, watching my roads closures, at home, and away; then evacuation notices, a block east of my home, across the street from the river, was rather stressful.
I was stuck about 100 yards east of that line shown in video, in my 53', needing fuel as my bunk heater had quit.
Ran out the day before, however passenger vehicles don't have bunk heaters, and frost appeared on Tuesday forward.
The pipeline people had the small towns rooms booked long before.
Rail is out for months just to assess, let alone rebuild. Ditto for Hwys. We've one left, the Crowsnest.
Remember the Hope Slide? Eyeah, THAT Hwy. Interesting times ..
Notice: -- the railways say they will have repairs done by middle of next week (CBC radio) and goods will once again flow east to west and vice versa. Goods are also moving both east and west via Washington highways and north again to areas in Canada not impacted by this catastrophe. BC has entered into a special agreement with Washington in which they will assist Canada's movements of goods, meaning in essence they won't delay trucks crossing the border.
My sister's family in Yarrow was given an evacuation order 2 days ago. At the moment my thoughts are with farmers who have suffered property damage and loss of livestock. They will likely not be able to submit insurance claims because they built on a flood plain. It's simply devastating!
Stay safe, Carrol!

I'm not discussing climate change. I simply commented on the flood situation in British Columbia and how the rains didn't cause flooding (yet!) in the area where I happen to reside.
@@melstiller8561 It was a general comment on how people are all screaming its climate change but no one mentions it's a flood plain and it was bound to happen and probably will again,
We're dealing with a similar situation here in Louisiana. Hurricane Ida was devastating! The worst one yet no matter what they tell us. They're saying it was a 4 but high tech wind gages say otherwise. They broke at 100 MPH! Even old timers say it's the worst. We have people living in tents and some in their vehicles. Stores and businesses closing down and moving out...even insurance companies leaving the state.
And things are only predicted to get worse. Only God can help us now.

Hey Mike I used to live in Chilliwack and to see this is so sad. I know it's not uncommon for that area but I lived there for 6 years and we never got this kind of disaster. Plus the music you chose is also sad. Doesn't help.... 😔
Nature is far older and doesnt listen to humans who are nothing but a speck in time
Yeah that music is about all I can take all of my close relatives live in that picture frame. I am worried the roads are very screwed up right now and it is easy for simple mistakes when driving (fleeing) in a panic can turn into terrible mistakes…
Very sad to see. They should not be building a town on the bottom of a lake. Poor planning. i hope everyone will be ok and I feel very bad for the animals that died from our lack of planning.

On a side note the music you chose to accompany this report is absolutely beautiful would you mind telling me the composer and who plays it and of course the name , many thanks 🙏 💜!!
I think once once the cleanup and recovery is done we’re going to have to rethink some of the engineering around this valley…
Around this whole watershed!! Theme so-called Pacific Northwest is geographically isolated I look at this as a multi national disaster…
I think Washington state has 10 or 12 million people and BC has perhaps 4 million… and nested between the mountains in the Fraser valley are I don’t know maybe 5 million people something like that….
And the Fraser Valley area is where the majority of the population is in both southwestern BC and northwestern Washington…
It will happen again over and over. Its what you get when you build your farms on flood plains. This at one time was Soomas lake they drained it to make farm land water is just claiming what is hers and will again. Stupid people need to realize that you can't win over nature it goes where it was meant to be.
@@truthhurts5158 you are right it will keep happening specially since it was a lake before … nature has its own way humans try to tinker with it , they think they can outsmart it but eventually it will win . In the new stories I read there was no mention of the fact of being lake at one time ! Thanks for the info !!!
Welcome back, Lake Sumas.
If you like mosquitoes
Around 13 thousand years ago there was substantial flooding in this valley in ways that, from an archeological point of view, seem familiar to this. Around 0.53 seconds on the video there's a series of mounds in front of the farm that have a very unique and particular arrangement that just manages to stay just right above the flooding....
Friends don't let friends live in flood plains
Love from NZ, where we know floods too. Looks like a stunning place, hope recovery is fast.
No one is prepared for this, if this had happened in Delta and Richmond or even Downtown we would be talking millions displaced.
This is so close to home praying for everyone
This is so very sad to see. I am thinking of all of you and hoping you will all get the help you so desperately need. From Texas.
We’re definitely in apocalyptic times. Everyone should pray for God’s mercy. 🙏🏼
I talked to a Shaman a few months ago, he said this is was going to happen and to get to high ground because it is only going to get worse, especially from the east of Canada. He advised we stock up on food and prepare.
Yep, shaping up to be a nasty winter. At least it didn't snow and freeze! Hang in the BC folk. Stay safe!
Mother Nature is taking back what was once a natural lake
Thoughts and prayers!! The biggest problem is how do the engineers prevent this from happening again……. The root issue needs to be addressed first, and only then can the rebuilding happen…….
We have known about this for two generations and continued to talk about it. But there is no change to infrastructure or maintenance procedures. We just continue to take from the land and give nothing in return. As though everything is free. Then cry, complain, and blame. You talk of change. Than work on infrastructure change for a couple of years. Then it goes back to what you can take for free. Then it happens again thinking no one will remember. And the greed just keeps growing.

Thousands of trapped, helpless farm animals.
no disrespect but how is this "unbelievable" if you look at the land around there it is completely flat and almost sea level except where the foothills push out of the land. in the lowlands/nederlands/netherlands they have beat the ocean a million ways. build dykes, put bike paths on them and use windmills to pump out the basins/polders. disappointing we are a "developed" nations and so behind in so many ways
We got a month's worth of rain in just over 24 hours, that doesn't just happen regularly so its pretty unbelievable, especially given the amount of damage it caused to hwy 5 from the dozens of land slides.
Hey Scott. Just correcting one thing. Quote almost sea level…..Abbotsford and Richmond are both BELOW sea level so I’ve been told? . Concerns of a tsunami for many years this is what I’ve heard. The big one is still expected .
Certainly the damage and heartache is terrible but a lot more thought needs to go into the rebuilding. Much of the farmland that flooded use to be a tidal area, man made changes and mother nature did what mother nature does best. Bring in Dutch engineers who know how to manage reclaimed tidal lands.
Amen to that. 👍
😢lifting my brothers and sisters up in love and prayer.
This is nature showing man how small they are. Building in a lake bottom, and crying when it rains. Tornado Alley residents won't learn. These people won't either.
YES, unbelievable. My heart aches for these people. When I say be prepared for anything THIS is a perfect example. I had to start Life over ONCE and it was the hardest thing I ever did. So many sleepless nights wondering how it is all going to work out.

Please make sure you get your boosters to protect yourself from natural disasters
What does a person expect when you build on a lake bed that has pumps running 24/7 to keep the levels down.. I think it could of been really bad if the pumps also quit.
Where is the music now? I can't hear it! That music was perfection! Just wanted to hear it!so rare ! Please bring it back or have mercy and share the name!!! Th U!

Hi everyone. My word, I also had no idea it was this terrible there. My prayers go up for everyone suffering there.
Thanks for the upload. Really quite devastating when you look at the whole area.
Praying for all in Canada and all other countries dealing with all this devastation.
The dam at the very end really tells the story. All these places made arable by dams are in greater peril now that "heavier rainfall events" are the norm.
Heart breaking scene 😢
Maybe if the BC government spent less time on increasing the costs of tailings dams to make mining companies suffer and to kill jobs, and focused on actual dams that break and cause people to suffer, this wouldn't happen. Priorities, people...
Where is the sound u tube??
Prayers for everyone up there. I have one friend who lives there. She just started a new job the day this hit. They're now shut down. 😥
I'm sure this lunar eclipse had an extra effect on things too. My heart goes out to everyone. 🙏
An eclipse is just one moon or planets shadow on another moon or planet. And last time I checked, shadows lasting a few hours on the moon don't and can't affect the weather here on earth. This was just a fairly rare combination of weather events that caused much more than the usual amount of rain. But if you can give a scientific based explanation a bit more modern than the Dark Ages about why I'm wrong about that eclipse?
@@turningpoint6643 but it does. I mainly just meant because of the full moon effect on the tides and water but also look up the article called "Moon’s orbital wobble can add to sea-level rise and flooding" where they talk about how when "the times when high tides are elevated most" are "coincidentally... also the times when we can see solar or lunar eclipses." And look up "Phase of the moon affects amount of rainfall." The moon does have real effects.
There's a correlation spiritually too as eclipses can be a marker of difficult times and bad omens for many people so it can seem very ominous for the moon to be obscured during something like that. That's personal to people but nonetheless has real felt effects. ☮️✨🌊🌕🌧️
@@WildAlchemicalSpirit No, shadows from an eclipse do not affect the tides. And that shadow was simply caused by the Earth's fairly rare alignment to both the sun and moon. So how could it have that "extra effect". And I already know how the moons gravity does affect the tides. It's why we have tides in the first place. This flood still wasn't caused by high tides so why even mention that. It was strictly from an abnormal but not unprecedented amount of rain. So again, exactly how does the earths shadow cast on the moons surface for a few hours affect the rain fall in B.C. as you seem to think. Because completely illogical and Neanderthal level superstition doesn't affect the rain fall either. And if it did, then why only in this part of North America.
@@turningpoint6643 dang it, must you be so pedantic? I know the shadow isn't affecting the tides. That's not what I was saying. Please, just lay off. You're very rude. It's not your duty to correct everyone. Also, Neanderthals weren't stupid, and it's ridiculous for you to compare me to that.
To clarify further, all I was ever actually saying in terms of physical effects was simply about the moon itself. I did not mean to imply that the eclipse literally was affecting things. All I was saying is that the full moon was affecting things which happened to be an eclipse moon, so I referred to it as such. I hope you can finally understand and let me be.
@@turningpoint6643 and by the way, in case you didn't notice, B.C. is right on the ocean. High tides definitely were a factor in the flooding. The tides don't just affect the coast but also the rivers. There were lots of areas that were inundated because of the very high tides, such as White Rock Pier and the town of Cedar.
THAT LANDSLIDE LOOKS LIKE THEY DEFORESTED THAT AREA....NOTICE ALL THE DEAD TREES.
The dead trees are from the pine beetle. Blame Mother Nature for the deforestation.
Is it really unbelievable. When flood planes flood? This is mostly farm land. That used to be river bed before a flood changed the path of it. That is reliant on the occasional flood so to keep the land productive.
