A second one in 200 year storm in the next six months? Relatively low, but not zero.

What about east on the 3 to Keremeos then north on the 97 to Sicamous? Pretty much how it was done before the Coq opened...

Edit - other than getting through Kelowna at a shit rate, it is a pretty easy route.

That’ll be open by Sunday or Monday from what I heard. We ended up just betting on Highway 1 tho.

Is it still once in 200 years if last one is only 30 years?

200 => 30 => 5 years is the next 200 year flood?

It is if the next one is in 609 years.

It is possible to have two unlikely events in a short time frame. That doesn't change the probability of the next one.

Theres probably a run on the gas stations tonight.

It’s a real shame this didn’t happen during boating season to really make the British Columbians think about the value of hydrocarbon infrastructure.

Get a kard lock!

[spikerS]

the gas restriction is laughable. Totally unenforcable, AND it is restricted to 30L per fillup. so get 30L, hang up the pump, fill up again...

I think we can trust people to do the right thing . . . . .

[AndyL]

I think in general most will abide... Traffic today was probably lowest I've ever seen it. When I did gas up, there were some small car owners bitching about being cut off at 30L. The high volume nozzle diesel pump - just kept on going Diesel truck privilege? Fleet card? Apparently some of the retailers have some ability to automatically limit purchases...

The accumulating stacks of stored sea-cans are getting pretty nuts though...

[killramos]

Even a modest # of people complying makes a big difference.

Same concept as Covid restrictions

[ZenOps]

Kids in the Philippines now how to deal with flood.

[max_boost]

lol can you cross the border and bring some back?

[gwill]

for a bunch of trucks my work needs their banking on highway 3 reopening first. They seem to think in the next 4 or 5 days but who knows. Question is what will the govt let on the road at that time?

Im assuming theres going to be a priority to certain vehicles/products. So a reopening may not be much help for many businesses.

A family member deals with cn and cp for a company dealing with crazy volume on the border. They won't have any updates until mon/tues and even then their not expecting much.
