Over a terrifying few days, mass evacuations were ordered, thousands of animals were lost, and homes were flooded to their upper levels. Every highway connecting the Lower Mainland to the rest of the province was badly damaged or destroyed.

It could easily happen again. Sumas LAKE or Sumas Prarie as it is now called is essentially 3 meters below grade. If the pumps fail the lake returns this will happen every time the pumps fail.
