Near-biblical rains and the ensuing floods have devastated the Fraser Valley in the past week.
It isn’t the first time it’s happened in the region: Great floods also struck in 1894 and 1948.
The 1894 flood was the largest. The Vancouver Archives have some startling photographs by George Edwards of flood waters inundating Chilliwack, Mission and Hatzic, stranding houses and twisting railway tracks.
