Thousands of farm animals dead in the BC flood waters
#1
The lower mainland of BC has received a months worth of rain in two days. There have been landslides wiping out highways. People had to be rescued from their cars by helicopter. There has been massive flooding in a primarily agriculture area.  It sounds like the flood waters overwhelmed things very quickly. People had little warning  in some areas. They believe thousands of farm animals have drowned.

Some serious rescue efforts are underway.

This is a terrible tragedy, but I am seeing an amazing response from the community.  The animals that have survived made it because people went in there and pulled them to safety.  It just happened so fast that many were lost.

This is an ongoing story and there will be more.  As I hear things I will post them.
