Flooding in British Columbia (Vancouver), Canada

VANCOUVER (Canada), 20 Oct (AFP) - Two people died and two more had disappeared on Monday, due to heavy rainfall these past few days in the Vancouver area, on the Canadian Pacific coast, relief services said. Over 800 people had not yet been able to re-enter their homes, after having been evacuated from the small towns of Squamish and Pemberton, about 150 km North of Vancouver, the most affected by the floods since Thursday. Two people died and research for two more was continuing on Monday, after two cars fell into a flooded river South of Pemberton on Saturday morning. The rainfall calmed down on Sunday, allowing the water level to decrease, before resuming on Monday.
