The Insurance Bureau of Canada has pegged the insured damage caused by flooding in B.C. at $450 million.

Their nine-metre propane tank would also “come by for a visit,” she said. “It was just hanging around, and it ended up miles from here.”

Residents of Sumas Prairie have begun the long process of cleaning the wreckage of their flooded homes, where volunteers, some they’ve never met, arrive every day to join the effort. A woman named Christa Lefers arrived at the farm and took charge and even put together a schedule of up to 30 volunteers, Mostertman said.

“A lot of people are unaware that people, still today, are just getting back to their homes,” she said of the extensive cleanup that is expected to continue for months.
