For those on flood watch in Langley, the magic number is 6.3

With about 150 properties on evacuation alert, all eyes in Langley are on the water-level gauge in Mission. If the Fraser River reaches 6 metres there, residents in Langley are supposed to prepare to leave. And at 6.3 metres, it’s time to skedaddle.
 
So far, residents are watching and waiting, like this woman walking at Derby Reach Campground, which has been closed, “I was here last year; I used to walk along this area quite a bit and it was never this high, not even close.”

It may have been recently sunny, but there’s a plenty of rain in the forecast.

Evacuation alerts have also been issued to residents in Hope.
