Between hail in South Surrey and White Rock on Wednesday and the downpour in Vancouver Thursday, the Lower Mainland has endured a tumultuous week.

After a summer of what seemed like never ending forest fires thatVancouver residents welcomed the change.

Today, 鈥楻aincouver鈥� lived up to its name:

1st day of heavy rain in Vancouver... Sidewalks & roads on Broadway completely flooded b/c can't keep drains clear.

Unfortunately, the rain didn鈥檛 help out Vancouver fire crews, who had to battle a blazing boat in Yaletown under the downpour:

Enough that they have to fight the fire on water, but the street is flooded too.
