Thankfully there was no climate change back then!
It wasn't climate change then and it wasn't climate change this time
My grandpa used to talk about this flood a lot when I was growing up. We lived in Richmond. Even my teachers would talk about the possibility of Richmond flooding and how the flood was devastating in 48'
This is good reporting
So the once-in-a-hundred-year flood of a dried-up lakebed has happened 3 times in less than 100 years?
Sounds like a math problem
@@darrentylor5473 Usually is.
@@darrentylor5473 sounds like a history problem, it keeps repeating itself.
The first recorded flood in 1894 was worse than any of the floods since . Look it up . The 48 flood was some of my earliest memories .
We saw the water lines when my dad redid the back rooms. The water mark was over 5 feet on the wall even though that area was already up by 3 feet.
I was little kid, we went to see G'pa via CNR in 1949, and I remember seeing pictures of this flood. It was devastating back then as it was in 2021....it was a topic of conversation among the adults. We came from Saskatchewan.
...actually 1990 was nearly as bad as well!
So this looks like a Flood Plain to me? I have a feeling the Fraser Valley as flooded many times over the past thousands of years
Not a flood plain. 100 years ago it was a lake. That was drained.
@@tracymcilvenna8837 beat me too it by 10hrs hahaha
Completely different reasons for flooding. 48 was snow melt and the Fraser flooded. Both just as devastating…
I tried golfing at castle flood park the other day...
Water hazard
Hahahaha 🤣
Much better government response back then.
Baseless statement.
@@tsimshianman How so? They deployed the national guard instantly back then to rescue livestock and people. This time around our non leader Horgan sat on his thumbs for a day and made all his calls after the fact, which by that time was too late. Pathetic, useless and incompetent.
Government back then = proactive
Government today = unfit..
What? No footage of the 1898 flood?
do you mean the 1894 flood? cause i haven't found info on a flood in 1898, although that was the year of the new westminster fire
this looks strangely familiar....:{ 2021
lol these comments :D
H.a.a.r.p. was not around then yo stop this devastation
Only 10 times worse than 2021.
not true not for lee county 6 foot in my dads garage
Global warming
Troll.. lol
Unfortunately this will happen not every 50 years, but in every 5-10 years now. Move out of the valley and go to Vancouver.
Lakes always come back
Is Vancouver any safer ..move up north
