‘It’s like an exodus under the gun,’ coastal B.C. neighbourhood forced to flee sinkhole threat
( Alex McKeen / Star Vancouver )“It’s like an exodus under the gun,” Rod said, choking back tears. Ross Storey packs up his family's belongings and furniture on Thursday in Sechelt's Seawatch neighbourhood because the district has deemed the community unsafe to live due to sinkholes. Sechelt resident Joanna Moridian packs up her belongings in a house in the Seawatch neighbourhood after several sinkholes rendered the community unsafe to live in. The evacuation of the Seawatch neighbourhood was not unexpected — the area has a “history of geotechnical issues,” according to the Thurber Engineering report. In the spring of 2012 a sinkhole appeared on the property across from the Storeys’ home.
