Floods and landslides

Heavy rains continue to cause mayhem in Metro Vancouver.

Pounding rains caused a Burnaby creek to overflow, flooding streets, and a small landslide came down on the SkyTrain's Millennium Line. A rockslide was also reported overnight on the Sea to Sky Highway, near Horseshoe Bay.

Up to nine centimetres of rain is expected to fall by Friday morning, CTV News reports.

Still Creek burst its banks before dawn Thursday, causing major flooding in Burnaby.

The SkyTrain landslide blocked tracks between the Commercial-Broadway and VCC-Clark stations.

Environment Canada says the storm should move out of the region on Friday.

A heavy rainfall warning was issued Thursday, along with a wind warning, with gusts of up to 70 km/h.
