There is no flooding in Nanaimo. The areas of Vancouver Island that are
flooding are 100km north, in Courtenay, where I was born and 70km south
in Duncan. Both of these problems are caused by man building dikes.
Thanks, but we are fine;
Gordon

Gordon is up on the high ground. No flooding up there. It was a combination of lots of rain, not enough drainage and high tides.
Today, everything is almost back to normal.
I'm in Victoria, about 100 feet from the ocean. No problems here.

If you are 100 feet from the ocean and it was flooding there I'd start building an arc real quick.

The Duncan area that was flooded is a very low lying area, almost swamp like. A little bit of rain there doesn't run off easy. I'm 28 feet above the water. So far, so good. We just had an earthquake up here a few days ago, also. I like it here, you never know what's going to happen next.
