UPDATE:
The Village of Lumby has joined with Vernon and Armstrong in issuing a statement urging area residents to prepare for possible flooding, especially those who have historically experienced flooding.
“With the warmer weather, the freshet is underway and peak runoff flows from higher elevation snow melt to the valley bottom are estimated to occur within the next three weeks,” said a statement issued late Friday afternoon. “Due to the increased temperatures and rainfall predicted in the forecast, residents are asked to be aware and, more importantly, to prepare as these factors can increase the risk of flooding.”
Conditions along with creeks and streams are being closely monitored.
Self-serve sandbagging stations are available to help residents with their flood prevention preparations and are set up across from the Lumby Curling Club at 2230 Shields Avenue and at the head of the Salmon Trail on Faulkner Avenue.
