In southern and coastal British Columbia, more than 20 weather warnings continue to be valid as another storm hit a state where people are still cleaning up from previous floods and landslides.
According to Environment Canada, it can rain up to 150 millimeters on the central and west coasts of Vancouver Island, up to 120 millimeters in the Bella Coola region, and up to 100 millimeters in the flooded Fraser Valley east of Abbotsford. .. Strong winds up to 90 km / h are also expected.

The city of Abbotsford has also issued evacuation warnings and orders for properties along Florence Drive, Sumas Mountain Road, Lower Sumas Mountain Road, Glen Code Live and North Parallel Road.
