British Columbia's public safety minister is asking residents to pay close attention to the weather forecast as more storms are expected later this week.
Mike Farnworth says more than 65-hundred people have been registered as evacuees, and those whose homes were flooded last week are eligible for a two-thousand dollar grant through the Canadian Red Cross and the province.
Environment Canada is warning a new storm is expected to hit the B-C's inner south coast tonight, dropping 40 to 80 millimetres of rain before easing on Friday.
The weather agency says another so-called atmospheric river is forecast for the south coast on Saturday, with total accumulations from both storms expected to exceed 100 millimetres.
