CACHE CREEK, B.C. — Premier Christy Clark describes the devastation caused by a flash flood through Cache Creek, B.C., as unbelievable.
Clark toured the Interior community today that received some of the worst damage caused by Saturday's storm, which dropped 26 millimetres of rain in less than an hour.
She says the community is resilient and that the B.C. government will help in the recovery effort as much as possible.
The government announced earlier that disaster financial assistance would be available to residents, and while Clark says there's a limit to what can be done with that aid, the government will try to err on the side of compassion.
About 20 homes remain under an evacuation order, while owners for many other homes are cleaning out mud and water.
The deluge sent water flowing down the streets like rivers, sweeping away yards and swamping homes and businesses.
