Hey, Nog!
It's been gut wrenching to watch TV and to see the devastation you and your neighbours in southern British Columbia are experiencing.
How are you holding out? I see that you have internet at least. I hope you and your family are safe.

Re: Hey, Nog!
Thanks for the thoughts fellas! Appreciated!
We did not get hit nearly as hard as those on the Lower Mainland and Points North of that.
Here's the links from yesterday regarding highway closures:
More have since been added.
The failures on many highways including the mainstem Coquihalla and Crowsnest are termed "Catastrophic".
And they are.
Large sections of these and many more highways simply washed away.
People have died in mudslides and flooding.
We on the Island and the entire LML are cut off.
Food and fuel panic buying is creating shortages already.
Many are still trapped awaiting being airlifted to safety.
The Military has been called in to help.
No-one can say how long it will take to get things moving again.
I am thankful we are OK for now, and we are always rather well stocked up just in case.
Biggest PO for me is my annual whitetail (late season archery) hunt may not be possible due to this.
Small potatoes for many, but still this is my main hunt of the year.
Hunkering down again...
Cheers,
Nog

A chunk of the Coquihalla Highway by the Othello pull out is simply "gone".

There is a LOT more, but methinks you can grasp the gist of it.

I heard about it on the radio but didn't know it was that catastrophic. That's really bad.

Re: Hey, Nog!
B.C. limits gas purchases to 30L per visit in southern region as flooding impacts supply
B.C.’s public safety minister has enlisted two new provincial orders amid concerns of gas shortages in the province due to the devestating floods that hit southern B.C. this week.
In a news conference Friday (Nov. 19), Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth announced that non-essential travel will be restricted on all highways impacted by washouts.
This means that highways impacted will be only open to those travelling to get home, as well as commercial and emergency vehicles.
Highways include:
Highway 99: from the junction of Highway 99 and Lillooet River Road to the BC Hydro Seton Lake Campsite access in Lillooet. Only passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles up to 14,500 kilograms will be permitted.
Highway 3: from the junction of Highway 5 and Highway 3 in Hope to the west entrance to Princeton from Highway 3.
Highway 7: from the junction of Highway 7 and Highway 9 in Agassiz to the junction of Highway 7 and Highway 1 in Hope.
Meanwhile, the public will be limited to purchasing 30 litres of gas per visit to gas stations in southwest B.C., Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast.
Farnworth said there is a reduced but steady supply of gas and province is working with the feds to import gasoline in new ways.
“Carpool, share with a friend, walk, use alternative methods,” Farnworth said, adding to be kind to others.
