Unrau said they are grateful the district is doing that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree months ago, when it came through, it came through our yard and flooded out the whole neighborhood and did over a quarter million dollars damage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we needed something better for the neighbourhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Between Thursday and Friday, Environment Canada estimates up to 120 millimetres of rain fell on the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to take time for those basins to come down and draw down,\u201d Brian Proctor, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the other things that could be very interesting is we\u2019ve got root systems on trees now that are exceptionally saturated. So we could look at getting some trees coming down if we get a good wind blow coming through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orange rainfall warnings remain in place for the Fraser Valley and northeast Metro Vancouver.<\/p>\n
Warnings are also in place for western Vancouver Island, the Fraser Canyon, Howe Sound, Whistler, the Highway 1 corridor from Vancouver to the Alberta boundary and the Kootenay region.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things that we have some concerns about is watch for winds on the backside of this frontal system, especially out in the Fraser Valley,\u201d Proctor added.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we may see some blow down, we may see some limbs and trees coming down on power lines, which would not be a great situation given what we\u2019ve had so far. But it is a concern moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Residents are urged to be vigilant and watch for weather-related road closures and localized flooding.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, eight people, two dogs and a cat had to be rescued from their Coquitlam homes<\/a> after a landslide cut off access to the road to their houses.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Click](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WEB_TAYA_FAST_MARCH_19.png\")
