Residents of another handful of properties in Abbotsford were ordered to evacuate late last night due to the ongoing flood threat.
Crews in the city, including members of the Canadian military, worked through the night to pump water into tiger dams to try to hold back floodwaters from the Sumas River.
And the District of Hope declared a local state of emergency yesterday while new evacuation orders were issued in an area west of Merritt.
Meanwhile, the third atmospheric river is forecast to slam into the province on Tuesday and and officials have warned it could be the worst one yet.
