"Massive" Chilcotin River landslide in BC could cause flash flooding in next 24 to 48 hours
A huge landslide blocking the Chilcotin River in British Columbia has forced the evacuation of a dozen homes and prompted a flood warning from the site of the slide, down the Fraser River all the way to Hope. Emergency officials said the landslide is expected to cause flash flooding downstream when the river breaches the slide area. On Tuesday, the Cariboo Regional District said the timeline of the breach is unknown but believe it could happen within the next 24 to 48 hours. As Troy Charles reports, the warning is stark and the danger of a catastrophic flood is growing every hour.
