Hate my steep ass driveway most days but living at the top of the hill is advantageous when it's raining like this, gravity carrying the water away from my house.

I should probably be counting my blessings since this rainstorm has only revealed a roof leak at my place so far. Been having zero luck with finding an available roofer all day so far, since I'm sure I ain't the only one who's got roof leak issues. A handyman friend has volunteered to come take a look at my roof tomorrow, and we will see what we can do.

After my parents' basement flooded a few years ago, I have been having anxiety issues whenever there is heavy rain out. Seeing all this flooding and people getting displaced is really, really disheartening...

Shit just got real on the Lougheed Highway between Hope and Agassiz:

Landslides trapped hundreds of people overnight in their cars along Lougheed Highway (Highway 7) between Hope and Agassiz, and many are still stuck many hours later.

Rescuers have been working to free those people trapped by the debris and additional resources are now being brought in.


The Canadian Forces Cormorant helicopters will be conducting rescue flights to bring people out of the heavily flooded area, and the evacuation centre in Agassiz.

Some people have been rescued who were closest to the slides. Some of them were in their vehicles when they began filling with mud and water Sunday night.

Welcome to Turds Canada baby!

I wonder if there's gonna be a big shortage :ahwow:

"There is currently no way to drive between Vancouver and the rest of Canada.

The Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley are now completely cut off from the rest of British Columbia and the country by road."

meanwhile in WA...
a truck driver needed new underwear...

The wife, kids, and I were driving back from Creston and we hit Hope at around 5:30pm. Got turned around a couple exits past and had to double back to take the bridge to Hwy 7. Took that to Harrison exits then back onto Hwy 1. The amount of rain coming down just outside Manning Park through to Hope was insane. Waterfalls everywhere, ditches and trenches overflowing, it was a bit nerve racking. Even more so now seeing what has happened since. This is pretty heavy stuff.

shortages for what? most of our shit comes from the states.

price gouging though? no diggity no doubt.

the #1 and the #5 will be closed for months, maybe spring depending on weather - it's going to be a huge pain in the ass

Customer states: i have no heat

my area lost power for 6 hours...

Didn't imagine this, it's like a disaster movie

No power here in parts of North van. Second time in 2 weeks. Last time was 14 hours.

Atlantis vancouver is coming soon

Sunshine finally. So bright. Eyes hurt. lol.

I wouldn't even know what to do with the time. I noticed after yesterday that I needed candles in the house...

The first time we just took the dog out as much as we could. Last night it was just nothing. Also our flashlight was dead from the week before lol.

Person trying to save their EK Civic hatch from the floods

Wonder if this person is on Revscene....

Two days in a row now for my son's school in Mission to be closed due to the roads/evacuations.

Yesterday I saw one dude here in the farms in South Surrey with 5 mustang fox bodies parked on a driveway that was on higher ground. I presume they were stored elsewhere and moved there. Never have seen them before.

Hope the EK got out.

Jokes aside. I got turned away at Still creek dr near Costco yesterday. It was flooded heavily as usual during huge rainfalls.

Anyone lives in River District by Marine Dr. How was that over there?
