Rainstorm causes Sea-to-Sky Highway rockslide, traffic delays
The highway reopened. The concern in CBC British Columbia's most-watched new upload extends well beyond the rocks that closed the Sea-to-Sky route near Whistler on Tuesday morning.
Transit operator Robert Broadbent describes encountering an ambulance and a downed utility pole at the slide. Power was restored and traffic resumed later that morning, but the report moves on to rainfall warnings, flood watches and rivers expected to rise again after a brief reprieve. Reporting from Squamish, Alanna Kelly brings together the immediate disruption and the longer wet-weather outlook.
There is a useful complication, too: geoscientist Pierre Friele says the rain is needed after months of dry conditions, helping replenish reservoirs and build snowpacks. Needed rain can also bring dangerous conditions. The report drew about 37,000 views in its first day, the largest audience among the channel's fifteen new uploads.
Storm coverage also reached Nanaimo, while a separate report heard from Horseshoe Bay businesses that say reservation-only ferry travel has hurt their trade. That ferry story and the Victory Square remembrance broadcast are among the channel's strongest sources of viewing momentum alongside the rockslide report.
Across the channel, daily views are running well above their usual level, and the subscriber total grew by about 1,000 over the week. Nearby local-news channels have had mixed fortunes: CBS Colorado is also seeing elevated daily viewing, while CHCH News is below its usual pace. For CBC British Columbia, the week's coverage connects a closed mountain highway with the coastal communities preparing for more rain.
