The Boxing Day floods of 1980 over southwestern B.C. / Russ Yasui, Vello Puss, meteorologists.: En57-44/81-003E-PDF

"Boxing Day of 1980 will be remembered by many citizens of southwestern B.C. as the day of the floods. Numerous washouts, mudslides, and floods were reported in such areas as the Fraser Canyon, Hope, Mission, Squamish, Alta Lake - Whistler, and the Alberni-Parksville section of Vancouver Island. Fora time, all three railway lines and two highways between the coast and the interior were closed, cutting off all surface transportation routes. This paper presents a brief look at the meteorological factors that contributed to these memorable year end events."
