The flooding Thursday in Ok Falls, south of Penticton, was caused when Shuttleworth creek breached its banks.

Water flooded numerous properties and some roads.

Residents of 54 homes were put under an evacuation order.

On Friday, people were cleaning up the left-over mess and the roads are dry but for a few puddles.

Crews built a berm at the breach site and have been removing debris from the creek bed.

The evacuation orders were downgraded to alerts Friday afternoon.
