Raging waters of Pass Creek appear to be cascading directly toward a home on Sunday afternoon. Further to the east of this location the road was closed due the high volumes of area creeks.

Pass Creek Road east of Piljik Road was still closed to traffic lated Sunday afternoon as a result of rampaging local waterways, swollen by prolonged heavy rainfall over the past couple of days.

The situation was one of several (including a fatality in nearby Goose Creek) in the West Kootenay attributed to the general high water of late, exacerbated by torrential rain.
