Floods devastate Fraser valley and Colorado towns
Reports from Vancouver and nearby regions describe the Fraser River rising over historical highs, inundating the valley for hundreds of miles, destroying bridges and infrastructure, leaving thousands homeless and causing millions in losses. Additional floods in Boulder Creek wipe out towns, with complete destruction of Crisman and Sulima and widespread mining-area damage. In Conejo Springs and surrounding areas, banks move cash to safety amid riot fears, while railroads warn of service cuts due to coal shortages.
