Police in Coquitlam, British Columbia are searching for a person who is unaccounted for after their home was washed away by a mudslide triggered by torrential rain this weekend. The slide occurred along Quarry Road on the east side of Pinecone Burke Provincial Park on Saturday afternoon.
Police in Coquitlam , B.C., say first responders are searching for a person who is unaccounted for after their home was washed away in a mudslide triggered by torrential rain across British Columbia 's south coast this weekend.
The slide has rendered the road impassable, cutting off several other residents who have confirmed with emergency personnel that they are sheltering in place. An update from the centre says additional rainfall was expected Sunday night as a"second and final pulse of moist air" moves from the coast to the Interior.
West Vancouver saw 134.6 millimetres of rain, smashing the record of 34.8 millimetres set in 1970, and images posted to social media in the city on Saturday showed a surge of brown floodwater flowing down a sloping street.
