Shit just got real on the Lougheed Highway between Hope and Agassiz:

Landslides trapped hundreds of people overnight in their cars along Lougheed Highway (Highway 7) between Hope and Agassiz, and many are still stuck many hours later.

Rescuers have been working to free those people trapped by the debris and additional resources are now being brought in.


The Canadian Forces Cormorant helicopters will be conducting rescue flights to bring people out of the heavily flooded area, and the evacuation centre in Agassiz.

Some people have been rescued who were closest to the slides. Some of them were in their vehicles when they began filling with mud and water Sunday night.
