Several people had to be rescued and power was knocked out for close to 5,000 BC Hydro customers following a mudslide in Coquitlam. It happened shortly after 5:30 a.m. Thursday, hitting four homes and two industrial properties. Search and Rescue used a private helicopter to rescue eight people, two dogs and a cat on Pipeline Road, north of Upper Coquitlam River Park. The heavy rain also forced a temporary closure of the West Coast Express at Port Haney Station. The atmospheric river is responsible for several advisories along Metro Vancouver’s North Shore and in Sea-to-Sky.Meanwhile, the Fraser Valley Regional District has declared a local state of emergency in Electoral Area E - east of Cultus Lake. There’s been at least one small slide along Chilliwack Lake Road and more flooding and slides are anticipated. More than 1,500 people live in that area.
