The picture painted by the media is a pretty accurate representation of reality. This recent spat of weather has been pretty horrifying for a lot of people in the valley. Mudslides, power outages, flooding. My parents have been dealing with it for the past few days in their homestead out by Chilliwack, and it's not been great.

I understand that someone WFH in their swanky Kits apartments isn't particularly impacted by any of this, but there does exist a BC outside of Vancouver.

The parent comment to mine specifically mentioned media coverage. So, bearing in mind that there are states of emergency declared throughout the Province Of British Columbia as a direct consequence of this atmospheric event, there is plenty of objective primary source material available to anyone from those authorities should a person decline to believe media reportage.
