Thoughts are with farmers and communities in Abbotsford and areas in B.C. right now, working to evacuate livestock from areas dealing with
#bcflood
.
Saw incredible grit in Abbotsford today, as farmers and community members rallied to rescue dozens of cattle stranded by
#bcflood
with boats, dinghies, a jet ski and even a hover craft. Heard these scenes were playing out across the valley.
