Thousands of British Columbians have been forced from their homes by what some officials are calling a once-in-200-years flood. The order applies to all low-lying areas near the Granby, Kettle and West Kettle rivers, and other areas under an evacuation alert yesterday. The River Forecast Centre has issued flooding warnings for the Kettle, West Kettle and Granby rivers and surrounding tributaries in the Boundary region. Osoyoos issued evacuation orders for properties in the Solana and Harbour Key areas of the town. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District issued an evacuation order for the Lower Nicola trailer park and three homes on Marshall Road on Sunday; one property on Marshall Road remains under the evacuation order.
