Cache Creek was placed under a local state of emergency on May 2 and as of May 3, there were 11 properties on alert and 14 on evacuation order due to the flooding.

At least one home has been lost, although a property assessment has yet to be completed, and the village’s fire hall has what emergency information coordinator Mary Coomber called, “ a river running through it.”

That part of our province has sure taken some abuse over the last several years.

I've driven from the Okanagan to Whistler via Lillooet a couple times in the past year. The flood damaged section from Merritt to Spences Bridge is daunting, it took a year to temporarily repair what the river did in a few hours. And then 30 minutes later comes the even more sobering drive through what remains of Lytton. Almost two years ago now, but the scars will he visible for decades.
