November 2021 Pacific Northwest Flood-DRAFT The November 2021 Pacific Northwest Flood is a flood that started on November 13, 2021 and has taken the life of one person. Origins The flood originated from an Atmospheric river and moved northeastward. Soon, preparations began from Washington to British Columbia, with rainfall, flash flood, and storm-related warnings being posted by weather agencies. Traffic Disruptions Soon, Highways 1, 5 were closed due to mudslides. Many were diverted to highways 7 and 3. Later on November 13, Highway 7 closed due to two mudslides between Harrison Mills and Agassiz, trapping hundreds of people and forcing crews to airlift people out to safety. On the morning of November 14, the Crowsnest Highway was closed due to flooding, isolating Hope. Many stalls, vehicle accidents, and spinouts occurred during rush hour, and the closures of Highway 99 and 91. The death attributed to this storm occurred on Highway 99, and the body found was recovered in a mudslide. Many people are missing, many caught in the same mudslide on Highway 99.
