Sad. Used to live just a bit north of Whatcom Rd and I had seen some flooding over the years, but of course nothing like this. Hope they get it sorted out.
Thank you, much appreciated. I will be attempting to return to my property today to see if there was any damage. Garage door has water in it, but hopefully not our first floor, which is in highland. If water reached tat, I will be in utter shock, and disbelief.
I used to lived in Abby my family still lives there......prayers to the people.....however Abbotsford people are strong they will rebuild...stay safe everyone
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and God Bless everyone who is going through such hard times in western Canada and the world, I hope we all can get back to some sort of normal life again.
My heart goes out to all affected by the flooding, but it begs the question of how building permits were issued knowing full well that all the affected areas were on flood plain. Greed is the only answer!
@@freedapeeple4049 Yes that is true in the past, but you'd think that they'd ask "is this property prone to flooding?" In modern times as land is less available we build in area's that are flood prone, one cannot build in an area if building permits are not issued but as towns grow they need to utilize the land in order to gain more tax revenue...so permits are approved.
Yes it’s quite unbelievable…I’m sure experts knew this was only a matter of time considering that whole area used to be a lake. Each governing party elected just kept passing the “solution projects” for the next political party to pay for. It’s also why Lower mainland ans Fraser Valley has the worst traffic infrastructure .
This area was naturally a lake 100 years ago. Humans decided to do something different to the area. Fast forward to 4 days ago when mother nature took it back. My heart is with those citizens. Please leave it as it is for fear of further loss down the line, rebuild life a different way.
@@KushbBlazin You might sag to me to mind my own business, but frankly, I think it is not time to argue,but rather ,look ahead for the work that need to be done . Psaxeful as well.

Hi Can you do a flight over the part of the highway where the emergency block dike dam is being built to damming off the highway area that is flooded and fly down to 500 feet or lower, as you can do that now as there are no persons below to getting an accurate works assessment to that program to sorting out as to how long it will take to open the highway. And of course post it ASAP, Chilliwack has run out of FOOD AND FUEL!
The Nooksack river overflowed and there are no catchment basins for most of Sumas mtn. The water went straight to the lowest areas. Part of which used to be a lake but had been turned into incredibly fertile farms.
As Jimmy Buffett sang to those afflicted in the Katrina flooding, "breathe in, breath out, move on.." prayers, persistence and resilience will always prevail over resistance. Prayers for the wonderful, resilient people in the area.
And here comes the plunging in home properties in BC Home for the citizens not for profit. Realty BC must do what's right for the people of the land. Lower home prices, now!
I'd like to point out one thing, this is to be expected. How do you think the fertile farm land in the valley bottom was created anyway? There is a reason farm houses are built on a small hill. If we turn the same land into subdivisions well, isn't that just stupid on so many levels?
We recently moved from delair road in Abbotsford to northern bc our friends live on matsqui flats hope and pray the dike at the Fraser river holds Stay safe
It's the Nooksack River water coming from the USA and flooding Matsqui. The US effort in Sumas and Whatcom County (and the US lack of long term planning) directly affects Canada.
The old Abbotford farts that controlled the area didn't and wouldn't allow the farmland to go to development. These guys were slightly to the Right of Ronal Reagan but looked to govern their local town. Notice 98% of the flooding in on farms. Pray for the cows. Those cows, some of those Holsteins can be worth several hundred thousand dollars........EACH.
I was trapped in this flood on my 40acre farm for 3 days our house went from no water to completely flooded around 4 feet in a matter of minutes definitely one of the scariest moments of my life
wow, the sounds scary and sad at the same time, glad you're safe! I just uploaded a new video from yesterday's shots, have a look, maybe you can see your land! Be safe out there!
Look at all that farm land under water. Need farms. Food growing land will be EVEN more important in the future. HEY ... wait a minute. Aren't they flooding the Peace Valley, some of the best soil in BC? ... for a hydro dam?! Stupid. When it comes to food growing land, that dam project IS a bad idea.
Nope they won't and when something happens me and you will foot the bill. I'd like Alberta to put their money where their mouths are. Make up a contract that makes them responsible to pay for clean up if anything happens with the pipeline they want. Shouldn't be a problem as they seem so sure it's safe and we have nothing to be concerned about.
you mean all the fckd up sht globally - inducing inflation or just this BC stuff? Regardless interesting you say I just came across this interesting vid re sumas pump station seems pretty critical.... aka did it fail.... th-cam.com/video/9t6CtR1dUGM/w-d-xo.html
They be testing their project HAARP weather weapons on us! It’s part of their great reset plan .Cause a bunch of chaos and from the chaos establish order, a new order.
73 years since our last flood and before that was in 1894. 54 years before the flood of 1948. Look 1894 and 1948 all have the same numbers. Now if you take 54 go 5x4=20 & 73 go 7x3=21 you put those together and you get 2021 🧐🤓
The Day of the Lord as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace-spotless and blameless in His sight.…
PEDRO’S THE MAN. GREAT STABILIZED FOOTAGE!!! THANK YOU.
I Love our Province... We will get thru this! BC people , stand up , and help one another. Let's do this together!
Absolutely. Let's stand together in the difficult times and make it worth living. God bless you🙏🙏
B.C. Strong!
Yes stop hoarding.
Yes BC will blame Alberta, Washington State or someone else for this... its only a matter of time
We never had any major problems like this until Trudeau got in.I wish these people the best.Send the bill to Trudeau.

Stunning footage mate. Stay safe.
I hope your doing good & Safe. My prayers to the people who is staying there.
The flood water has gone down by only 2m, it was 6m deep, but it is expected to rise again .
I share same. Hope all effected will be fine.
I’m staying in the city the water is like 9 minutes from us

So sad... Prayers for BC, for my AB, for my Canada.
Oh, how terrible. My thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone affected by the storm. Please stay!!
Add insult to injury: part of the Coquihalla Highway collapsed near Hope. Prayers for resilience and strength to endure and recover.

I remember going to Minter Gardens about 1990 after the Frazer flooded and you better start stocking up on MOSQUITO spray.
So sad my Dad lives not to far. Be safe .. prayers from New Mexico
I wish you all get through this quickly. I pray everyone will be okay. I send strength and hope to the people affected by the floods.
Wow what next! Poor people and animals.
next? big one
What is on fire there causing the thick black smoke? Thanks for sharing this Pedro
@@trishdavi7049 the fire was caused by a RV storage lot on fire.
My prayers with all affected. Take good care. We stand with you through this ……
Thanks very much for the awesome, but all too sad footage.
How many mm of rain fell? Terrible. Were the dams kept too full so no room for a big rain event
My heart goes out to all affected by the flooding, but it begs the question of how building permits were issued knowing full well that all the affected areas were on flood plain. Greed is the only answer!

I'm from Bellingham, WA now in Costa Rica, my heart goes out to everyone. Let Mama have Sumas lake back.
If that’s a video of BC where are the mountains? Looks more like the prairies!
The mountains are to the north of Fraser valley, open Google maps… I was flying to the East of Abbotsford where they drained the lake for farm land
Bless, Protect and Speed Everyone 🕊 ❣ 🔥 🙏
Sorry for those affected by the devastating flood the mother nature want her back in original images watching from Tisdale Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
Stay strong people

Looks like they fired up H A A R P again
Guess that is a catch basin for floodwaters before. AM. I RIGHT? THEN, NOT SUITED FOR HOUSING.
Sumas use to be a lake , they drained it and built on it . Mother Nature wants her lake back .

i feel for everyone and hope everyone is safe..My family in friends in princeton/coalmont have felt the affects of this as well.

My prayers for God’s protection and comfort in these troubling times. 🙏
Seems like that RV dealership didn't have flood insurance so they decided to go with fire insurance instead
Can't avoid the irony of an RV dealer going up in flames...while completely surrounded on all sides by flood waters.
What was the black smoke from?
RVs
painful to watch.can't imagine how people that lost everything feel
Another MAJOR storm coming this weekend!
I come against it in Jesus name !
Devastating. Hope you stay safe.
Thanks
Heartbreaking
Thanks for sharing.

Prayers for all of you. 😟
i like the music
Is that a fire, or a factory?
Fire
RV park
B.C. Stay Strong ❤
Being a farmer is hard enough without this weather messing them up.
Where I work is in that area sadly been stuck at home while this mess gets cleaned up
I’m sorry to hear that!
At least you’re safe :)

PRAYERS FOR THE PPL IN B.C.!😥
What is meant by B.C. and where is this located?
British Columbia, Canada
Dieu protege les innocents 🙏💔
What was burning?
RVs
The floodplain of the Fraser River floods. All the land outside the floodplain is fine.
If you're building on a flood plain, good idea to consider build your house up a few feet and having an emergency hill for your animals to gather on.
Along the Russian River in Nor Cal all the homes are built on stilts above the flood plain.
We recently moved from delair road in Abbotsford to northern bc our friends live on matsqui flats hope and pray the dike at the Fraser river holds
Stay safe
It's the Nooksack River water coming from the USA and flooding Matsqui. The US effort in Sumas and Whatcom County (and the US lack of long term planning) directly affects Canada.
Shit man, I'm in chilliwack, I have friends whose places I see underwater...
I’m sorry to hear that
Heart-rending
What was that building on fire btw? Tragic images, thanks for taking that.
That is no building, mate. Millions of dollars in RVs. Probably not covered in the event of a flood, but a fire, everyone has coverage for that!
Good ol insurance scam. Flooding won’t be covered , but fire. Heck ya!
What river up there is out of its banks to cause this destructive flooding? Looks horrible, prayers out for all of those impacted.
literally just th rain. We had a tornado and it rained for 2 weeks straight
Fraser River
No
This is because of the nooksack river a few kms to the south in whatcom county
WOWwwwwwwwwww keep the faith
Bet you wished you bought that boat now.
very terrible site. but this is what happens when you build fields where a lake use to be.
Animal rescue ASAP!
My prayers are out to all going thur this.
Look sane civil engineering. Put the houses on the hills and the farms on the flood planes.
The old Abbotford farts that controlled the area didn't and wouldn't allow the farmland to go to development.

This is going to put a real kink in your coal exports
What about wheat farmers trying to get their crops out?
How does somebody manage to start a fire in the middle of a flood
Batteries in the RVs. water and electricity don't mix.
Chilliwack please?
May be can go fishing soon hay
Just heartbreaking...

I added links for donations
what is burning?
RV Parking lot bursted into flames early morning today
Looks like a very graphic reason to examine pipeline routes with a critical eye, perhaps pessimistic eye. ?
Nope they won't and when something happens me and you will foot the bill. I'd like Alberta to put their money where their mouths are. Make up a contract that makes them responsible to pay for clean up if anything happens with the pipeline they want. Shouldn't be a problem as they seem so sure it's safe and we have nothing to be concerned about.
They play with ' h à à r p. ' '
Yeah I’m starting to think there’s a little bit of Tom foolery. 50c heat wave then a catastrophic flood a couple months apart?
