- My three sons and their friends were up at Sicamous Falls outside of Sicamous at 2 Mile. My one son texted me and said to get there right away the falls are going crazy. I went to grab my umbrella before heading out and before we could get out of the lane way, he was coming down the street beeping his horn at us. He then proceeded to tell us that The local Houseboat company was currently being flooded with the waters coming up and over the creek. We headed out right away and just before we could get to the end of our street...it was already blocked off by RCMP. My son was first in line at the stop sign and he waited it out. The RCMP and a local woman had stopped to help out in directing traffic back the opposite way. We were allowed to pass as we knew this person. I proceeded to get pics and footage until we were told we had to leave.
Brianna I am sorry that your family have been uprooted and have lost the luxury of just sleeping in your own beds and having your own clothing. Your family is very strong and you all will pull together to make it through. Strange even though we live so close, we are virtually unscathed. It has been a hard road listening to a lot of negative comments and spending time removing the majority of them. I can't imagine how you feel and wished no one had to. Hoping you are able to get home soon.
Looks like a wild ride! I hope the people of Sicamous get through this without any serious injuries.
Oh Honey, that's YT for you.. It's full of trolls and weirdos, don't waste your precious time replying to them. Thank you for posting the video, i had no idea this was going on in BC... I'm glad you guys are ok, it could have gotten really ugly. Best wishes for you and yours.
That's just terrible.. Heart goes out to you guys from vancouver island
Woah! I was out cat skiing there in March! It's terrible to see it like that. Best of luck in recovering from this. :) Please tell me Joe Schmuck's is ok!
Thank-you! :)
Sicamous is the best Little Town ever and everyone will pull together to help in the after-math of all the destruction! Sicamous looks after their own
Thank you! :)
wow first i herd of this. i use to live at 15th and longsdale N. Vancouver. It was too expensive but the view was awsome. i do miss drinking at a bar at that intersection on the patio smoking and drinking all day. looking up at the mountains in a daze, half a mile away in my mind. Salt Spring Island at St. Marry's Lake Resort BC this summer!
I was out in Vernon last weekend and yes, it is as bad or worse than what the media is showing you..I feel really bad for the people who have to live in this area and endure the hardship...the tourism season is a shambles...Dave in Calgary
People with comments like that will say anything to offend and try to get a reaction. It's best to just delete the comment and make their time in posting it wasted time.
Wow thats so sad. Unbelievable, my BC is going through some hard times.
I just got back from camping in peach land and turned on my tv and seen this on the news, like holy crap were did all the water come from. Surely the a thunderstorm couldn't have done that...
Wow, that is unbelievable.
beatiful british columbia
Thank you so much...never have I encountered such an Ignorant Person in all of my life!!! Thanks for having our backs and for the Well Wishes!!! :)
i think it's the gas heat that causes this anyways i hope it gets better in a few weeks
Stay safe mara lake, sicamous etc. You'll soon be thankful for your small community to help in the aftermath.
Did those cars get washed away
Take your nasty comments elsewhere...have you dealt personally with a National Disaster?...NO I THINK NOT...so buzz off and let us get our lives back on track and rebuild Sicamous back to it's full potential. We are dealing with enough, without dealing with the ignorance of you...stop the nasty comments or be removed...we need prayers, not your nasty comments!!!
rude much. I'd like to see you go through this
My moms best friends house collapsed because of the flood... D:
Thats a half an hour from where I live!
Huh. I just always assumed it was spelled Sick Of Moose.
Sicamous? That's pretty silly.
Another reason Waterways should never have been allowed to build a business on a creek delta!
thats alot of gas money but beautiful british columbia is ever so beautiful. i payed $980 a month for a one bedroom not including hydro.
Yeah.....and?
hmmm sounds like the end of times is near
I would care if it was our fault (maybe its all our fault) but nature owns us all the time
Crazy I love bc
Hopefully they don',t our government can handle this, we don't want the UN in our country and i don't want the UN helping me
Wat if that reaches were i like.o.o
ya i herd that man shot his co-workers. obviously his goal was to gain trust and intelegence. then shoot, kill and take as he needed. may his life be full of tortures during his life in prison. that is if the man is sane and just simply a horribly selfish person. my hart goes out to the people experiencing there life and all they worked for drifting away.
