Environment and Climate Change Canada says 14 daily precipitation records were broken over the weekend
A man uses an umbrella to shield himself from the rain while walking on the Stanley Park seawall across the water from downtown Vancouver on Oct. 19. West Vancouver recorded 134.6 millimetres of rain on Saturday, shattering the previous record of 34.8 millimetres set in 1970.Three people have been confirmed dead and at least one remains missing after an atmospheric river brought heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts through British Columbia ’s south coast and parts of the Interior.
An atmospheric river is a long band of concentrated moisture that travels from the earth’s tropics to the mid-latitudes. Strong winds blew foliage off plants and trees, blocking storm drains as the atmospheric river dumped between 70 and 300 millimetres of rain across Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, he said.
Port Alberni RCMP said Tuesday high water levels and swift water currents had prevented first responders from accessing the vehicle. Officers were working with the Alberni Valley Rescue Squad to co-ordinate recovery of Mr. Baden’s remains when the water recedes. As well, a Coquitlam man who was last seen walking his dog on Sunday afternoon remains missing, and family members fear he may have fallen into the surging Coquitlam River. The dog belonging to Robert Belding, 59, has been located.
