The B.C. government provided an update Tuesday about major highways and roadways impacted by the atmospheric river that struck the south coast and parts of the Interior.
Public safety minister Mike Farnworth called it an "extreme weather event."
"Weather specialists have noticed that the impacts have been greater than expected," he said.
More than 20 reception centres have been set up around the province and Farnworth said everyone who was stuck has now been rescued.
Multiple highways remained closed Tuesday.
Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Rob Fleming, said it looks like Highway 3 will be the quickest to open and crews are aiming for the end of the weekend.
