Serious Flooding on Northern Vancouver Island

From the Victoria Times Colonist

B.C. communities inundated by mudslides and flooding over the weekend were barely able to take stock of what hit them as they braced for another storm heading their way Sunday night.

The B.C. River Forecast Centre was predicting that already-swollen and overflowing rivers were in danger of flooding their banks again as the storm was predicted to hit.

“Another active system is expected to arrive on the coast this evening,” the centre warned Sunday. “Forecast precipitation totals for the next front are lower than those received over the past two days, but are still significant. … River levels are expected to begin to rise again overnight.”  Read entire article

Heavenly Father, we pray for those affected by these serious storms on Vancouver Island and the Central Coast.  We ask that you would keep people safe from harm and that your grace would be sufficient for them.  We ask that you would help those providing and coordinating emergency services.  Give them your wisdom to be able to quickly assess needs and to provide solutions that will ease the situation for everyone concerned.  Keep workers safe from harm as they seek to bring assistance.

Amen!
