EightsailsI don't have too much hope for the sea to sky soon but we can hope.
SendyMcSendyfaceI'm up in Kamloops, and its fucked. I actually drove through the storm from Van on Sunday evening, missed the slides by like an hour. Was a wild ass drive. The two main routes, Trans Canada and Coquihalla are gonna be shut for months, and may be years before they're fully open. The 99 through Lillooet is probably gonna be the first to open, but sounds like they're restricting it, limiting it to shipping and "essential travel". My gf lives in Van, and I really hope that a route is open to the public by mid-December. Neither of us is too stoked on spending Christmas alone.
BrandoComandoThe photos are nuts. Entire sections of highways just vanished. I can't imagine what you guys are going through. The recovery of infrastructure alone is going to take ages

SendyMcSendyfaceYeah. Its affecting the interior too, people are cleaning out grocery stores with their panic buying, cause most of our produce/meat comes from the coast.

EightsailsGlad you're safe, homie. Apparently the border is open for stranded people without a covid screening but kamloops is pretty far north that would be a heck of a drive.
Gonna get wild in the interior, I have friends in Nelson who are stocking up, but all the shipping from the ports here in van is boned. Combined with winter hitting here real quick the road work in the snow of December is gonna be a long project I think.
CLQCanada has had it too good for too long
