Hey David, sorry for delay.

Was a Heavy Rain.

Record breaking and did much damage on the mainland

See this metafilter entry

https://www.metafilter.com/193305/BC-floods

Locally for me it wasn’t too bad. Took thevan towork Monday in the rain . Road i take had streams across, with rocks. One section was wading about six or eight inches. Easy for the van.

Last two days been clear and chilly, dried up around here. But again, have ti say major problems on the mainland .

Rain coming again. Not as bad , but still ….

Alistair
