| Comments | Northwestern British Columbia, October 10-14, 1961. Flash floods caused by storm with heavy rains, warm temperatures, and 'freak' winds. The flood on the Nass River was the largest recorded; Greenville and Aiyansh were cut-off. Homes were flooded, damaged, and destroyed in these two communities. Approximately 100 people were evacuated. Roads were washed-out, and many bridges in the area were damaged or destroyed. Much of the winter supply of fish and meat was lost at Greenville. The BC Red Cross Society provided aid. |
