Abbotsford, B.C., resident Teresa Vogel showed up Saturday at Delair Park, where her son plays baseball, to see the damage from floodwaters for herself after heavy rain flooded parts of the city and closed roads, including a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.

Vogel said it was devastating and was shocked to see the baseball diamond surrounded by water, though it had receded since the day before.
