A thunderstorm warning threatens the rescue efforts in a remote village in the Kootenays to find four missing people after Thursday’s landslide.
Bill Macpherson with the regional district says about 70 people are working right now in Johnsons Landing – search and rescue crews, police, spotters, geotechnicians and more.
“Their focus is on the highest probability locations as to where the individuals might be. Using GPS, mapping, they’re conducting sort of a grid style search.”
Macpherson says they hope to continue until dusk without rain or thunder butting in and making the ground too unstable.
A 60-year-old man, his two grown daughters, and a German tourist have been missing now for four days
