I know that area pretty well and it doesn't surprise me. Not quite to the scale of the Hope Slide back in 1965, but still...

We've been having lots of rain this year, so I guess BC has gotten hit too.

Its not surprising that happened given the wet spring we have had, and the large snowpack still around. Here we are on July 1, overcast and about 12 degrees this morning. Gotta love wet coast summer!
