On Friday, North Vancouver County lifted an evacuation order for one of three homes in Deep Cove.

Residents at 2514 Panorama Drive can return to the property. The premises at 5297 and 5313 Indian River Drive remain under evacuation orders.

Fragments of wood fell next to the stones as big as “pumpkins” and “balls,” North Vancouver Mayor Mike Little said last week.

Areas east of Francis Creek, accessible from or via Indian River Road and Panorama Drive, north of the 2500 block of Deep Cove, are still under a state of local emergency.

The Oct. 26 evacuation order came shortly after the county announced the mandatory evacuation of six homes on Panorama Drive in Deep Cove due to flooding in the area on Oct. 20. Residents of these facilities were able to return on October 24.

Residents of affected facilities have the right to emergency assistance.
