I think Ladner is prone to localized flooding, but I can't imagine how it could be as bad as what happened in Abbotsford. Abbotsford's circumstances were very different because it had a whole bunch of factors stacked against it:

- the worst flooded areas were a drained lake
- multiple unrelenting atmospheric rivers came down to hit the region
- the nearby Sumas and Nooksack rivers overflowed and poured water back into the drained lake

Then again, if an earthquake-induced tsunami were to hit the PNW, Ladner would likely see more flood damage than Abby would.
