I don't know if climate change is the issue, but I suspect it plays a role. I think the bigger issue is the increase area of impermeable surfaces in the LML and Fraser Valley. There has been so much development in the past 15 years and I don't think the terrain can handle it any more.

The reality is the entire area is a flood plain. Why is the soil so fertile and good for crops? Because for thousands of years sediments got deposited through flooding events like this.
