“This roar came and it hit my truck and there were trees flying. Mike Timbrell, a Global BC cameraman, was on his way back to Vancouver when he heard a “loud, terrifying roar”. The routing of flow to the downstream area using MIKE FLOOD model was to obtain the flooded area, flood travel time and maximum flood depth. Officials in British Columbia are urging residents not to panic-buy food and groceries as the region continues to grapple with the impacts of this week’s historic floods.Ĭameraman swept up in mudslide: ‘There was just no stopping it’Ī news cameraman has shared a harrowing account of being caught in a mudslide on a British Columbia highway. MIKE 11 1-D model was used to derive breach outflow hydrograph, whereas MIKE 21 2-D model is being used for flood plain modeling and generation of inundations maps downstream of the dam.“I know we are both keeping our minds close to the families affected by the storms flooding the British Columbia area in the Pacific north-west.”

Floodway delineation, zoning and hydrodynamic modelling for a section of the Drava River was carried out with MIKE 21 software at a one-time input flood pulse of 3000 m 3s -1 discharge.
