CACHE CREEK, B.C. — Much of British Columbia's Interior continued to be under the threat of flooding triggered by rain and warm weather Sunday, but water levels appeared to be receding at one of the hardest hit communities.
Even so, Cache Creek, a village about 350 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, remained under a state of local emergency, which was expanded to May 13 at midnight.
"The water is staying in the channel now," said Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta."And it doesn't seem to be flowing around or through the firehall the way it was the last few days." "Weather conditions locally and in the snowpack areas could cause these forecasts to vary through the rest of the weekend," the City of Grand Forks' Facebook page update said."Residents are reminded to stay away from areas under evacuation orders and alerts and to remain well clear of fast-moving water."
