With another day of rain arriving today and more to come on the weekend, the situation along the Rivers of Northwest British Columbia gained additional attention today with the latest update from the River Forecast Centre providing for two currents for the Skeena.
Over the course of the last few days, evacuation orders were issued for Old and New Remo, with the City of Terrace also closing a number of recreation sites and opening its Emergency Operations Centre.
Communications from the City of Terrace can be accessed here, while updates from Smithers area available here.
Images of the flooding are available through the Terrace area media with both CFTK TV and CFNR Radio providing some glimpses of the situation, with Social Media also providing a window into conditions.
