Comments	On November 15th, over 150 mm of rain fell on Vancouver in 15 hours. By noon, 7 provincial highways were blocked with eight communities experiencing power outages. Additionally, several landslides in Vancouver water reservoirs created a risk of water contamination resulting in a boil water advisory for 2 million residents in Vancouver and its surrounding area. While the advisory was partially lifted the next day, almost a million residents in Vancouver, Burnaby, and the North Shore remained under a boil water advisory for 10 more days. This was the largest water warning in Canadian history. This storm and a series of storms over the next month would lead to over $133 million (CAD 2006) in insured losses.
