Ice Jam On The Bulkley River Smithers British Columbia (Pictures)

Above Photo: Ice jam raise's the water in the Bulkley River at Smithers, British Columbia.

An ice jam has threaten to flood homes that are in low lying areas next to the Bulkley river in Smithers, British Columbia in the early part of January 2016. People were placed on high alert as the ice and water backed up onto peoples property.

As chunks of ice started building up on the river, this caused the water to back up, flooding some basements and property.

There were approximately 16 or so homeowners that were placed on evacuation notice if the river continued to rise. There was some flooding on some the roads.

In Spring runoff, many of these low lying areas do flood, and flooding has been seen in years past from ice jams on the Bulkley.

Also residents are being advised to stay away from the river as it is extremely dangerous.

1918 Railway Station Smithers British Columbia (8 - Pictures)

It is funny, know matter how many times I visit communities throughout northern British Columbia, I always find something new to film. I moved from Surrey, B.C. in 1981 to where I reside now, which is in small town Houston.

There were a few challenges to over come, like setting up a home in the dead of winter with temperatures dropping into the minus thirty's.

Houston, British Columbia is known around the world for a good number of things, such as Canada’s largest fly fishing rod and one of two grizzly bears that were killing cattle around Hungry Hill. 

Also we have the “beautiful” Steelhead Park which runs along Highway 16 through Houston. 

In the park there is the Steelhead fountain where you can sit peacefully enjoying the day.

Another popular attraction is the Wolf Totem Pole which is in the park.

In summer there are numerous beds of blooming flowers of different types and well manicured grass. The park is truly Houston’s well known gem.
