Unsettled B.C. weather prompts flash floods, complicates river level forecasts

Prince George is the latest city to feel the lash of torrential downpours linked to ongoing unsettled weather across British Columbia. Environment Canada is reporting about six millimetres of rain fell at the Prince George airport Tuesday, but doesn't mention the localized, intense thunderstorm that deluged the city's downtown core, flooding several streets. RCMP said its frontline officers had to help after "several vehicles" got stranded in the water in the industrial area off Queensway and on Winnipeg Street. Four separate roads were closed as crews worked to clear the excess water.
