Landslide in BC

A significant landslide has blocked the Chilcotin River in British Columbia, creating an immediate risk of flooding along the river and downstream Fraser River. The landslide occurred on a hillside affected by 2017 wildfires, and officials warn that a sudden release of water could lead to rapid rises in water levels for hundreds of kilometers, potentially impacting areas as far as Hope, B.C. Evacuation orders are in place for 60 properties, and the Cariboo Regional District has reported an immediate danger to life and safety. Meanwhile, in Barbados, a Flash-Flood Watch has been issued due to excessive rainfall, which could lead to localized flooding in several districts. Residents are advised to stay informed and take precautions as conditions may worsen. Authorities in both regions are actively monitoring the situations and coordinating response efforts.
