| Comments | Vancouver Island BC, December 18, 1979. A continuous downpour of heavy rains and strong winds caused great damage from flooding and mudslides. Campbell, Gold and Oyster Rivers on Vancouver Island were flooded. On the mainland, Surrey, Haztic, Port Moody, Squamish and some First Nation Reserves reported damage of public, private and municipal buildings/land due to flooding. Water, 15 to 30 cm deep, led to the damage of roads, bridges, and the Western Speedway. |
