Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
A
It
came
without
notice
and
literally
shook
gary
and
mabel
moore
out
of
their
beds,
mud
water
rocks
and
dirt
slammed
into
the
home
near
mcbride
bc
that
they
had
lived
in
for
37
years.
They
said
it
sounded
like
a
freight
train,
as
the
mass
of
debris
slammed
into
their
bedroom
wall
at
about
1
30
in
the
morning.
A
Gary
and
mabel
instinctively
knew
that
they
would
need
to
find
a
way
out,
so
they
used
a
log
that
was
floating
through
their
home
to
shatter
the
kitchen
window
and
climb
out.
Unfortunately,
gary
received
serious
cuts
that
required
surgery
as
a
result
of
him
having
to
climb
through
the
smashed
window
and
mabel
broke
a
toe
and
was
covered
in
bruises.
But
we
are
very
thankful
that
there
was
no
loss
of
life
once
they
had
escaped
their
own
home.
A
The
moors
worked
their
way
across
a
huge
stretch
of
mud
and
slid
down
a
steep
embankment
to
ensure
that
their
81
year
old,
neighbor
joyce
godfrey
was
safe.
Joyce
was
sound
asleep
when
mabel
woke
her
up
and
told
her
that
they
needed
to
get
out
of
the
house
worrying
that
a
second
slide
might
come
down
gary,
who
is
70
and
mabel
who
is
67,
have
lost
everything
81
year
old
joyce
has
lived
in
her
home
for
50
years
and
now
has
a
yard
full
of
mud
and
debris.
A
Other
residents
were
impacted
as
well,
mabel
and
gary
said
they
are
so
grateful
for
the
support
of
family
and
the
mcbride
community
have
stepped
up
to
provide
the
care
that
all
of
the
impacted
residents
need.
Now.
Work
is
underway
to
secure
the
necessary
resources
through
disaster
financial
assistance
so
that
these
families
can
rebuild
their
homes
and
their
lives.
