iN PHOTOS: Closed roads, soaked fields and evacuation orders in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS – Residents living near creeks and rivers in the Kamloops area are getting hit exceptionally hard with rising water this season.
Communities are filling sandbags as fast as the water is rising.
Floodwater has washed out roads, filled fields and pushed residents from their homes.
An Environment Canada spokesperson is urging the public to remain vigilant because things might get worse. Temperatures are expected to rise again this Wednesday and that could bring even more water.
