From vehicles being abandoned in the street to entire properties becoming only accessible by boat, CTVNews.ca has collected a selection of images showing the extent of flooding damage across parts of British Columbia.
Aerial photos show long stretches of abandoned highways, with floodwaters stranding vehicles including tractor-trailers. There is no timeline on when the highways might reopen.
The flooding has also forced hundreds of people to abandon their homes. Some photos showed families being rescued by boat.
Evacuation orders remain in place in several B.C. towns and cities, with officials saying at least one woman has died as a result of a mudslide. As of Wednesday morning, 184 people have been rescued by air or watercraft from flooded areas in Abbotsford, B.C. A dam has been built there, but officials still say the situation is critical.
Several bridges have collapsed in Merritt, B.C., causing floodwaters to fill the town with sewage-contaminated water.
