Between hail in South Surrey and White Rock on Wednesday and the downpour in Vancouver Thursday, the Lower Mainland has endured a tumultuous week.
After a summer of what seemed like never ending forest fires that burned more than a million hectares across B.C., Vancouver residents welcomed the change.
Today, ‘Raincouver’ lived up to its name:

Unfortunately, the rain didn’t help out Vancouver fire crews, who had to battle a blazing boat in Yaletown under the downpour:
