Man who lost most of his possessions in B.C. flooding describes 'one-man battle' to salvage anything at all

Mario Loutef had little sleep over the four days leading up to Saturday, when he piled his ruined belongings in the street outside his home in Princeton, B.C.

“It turned the corner and then it was like a tsunami because it filled up the little streets on the way here. But once those were taken care of that's when the water took care of my space and everybody else on the road,” he told The Canadian Press. “I'm trying to save my tools, which is my bread and butter, because if I don't have that I can't make the revenue. I'm pretty much in the slop...pun intended.”
