PHOTOS: Cache Creek flooding worsens to ‘disaster’
CACHE CREEK, B.C. — The flooding situation in Cache Creek has worsened since Tuesday (May 2), as flood waters are now running through a motel parking lot and directly through the local fire department hall.
Mayor John Ranta says it’s no longer an emergency situation — it’s a disaster.
Work is underway on Highway 97 where crews are looking to shore up the sides of the bank to prevent further erosion.
