Comments | Peace River area BC, June 2001. The region was subjected to many intense precipitation events. Increased tributary levels combined with the spring freshet caused the over-saturation of the soil and surface runoff. This in turn triggered several landslides that cut-off highways. Property and infrastructure damage was extensive. Pink Mountain and Halfway River were both affected. |
