Mayor of Abbotsford talking with Washington state Governor; flooding in area at least partially caused by swollen rivers in the US

The mayor of Abbotsford, BC is talking with Washington state Governor Jay Inslee today as the two discuss severe flooding on the Canadian side of the border.

The flooding was at least partially caused by swollen rivers in the US.

Mayor Henry Braun says Inslee's office reached out to him as the Nooksak River in Washington state continues to send torrents of water into BC.

Braun says he's not worried about the rain coming today, but he's concerned about the amount of precipitation expected early next week.
