Yes, it has been a bit nightmarish here.Originally Posted by GL from QC
We have one community on the island of 200 homes completely cut off when the road simply got washed away. Another of about 50 houses lost their only road in a mudslide.
Some of the mainland communities here on the US/Canada border got it even worse.
A small taste of our local issue:

I'm impressed that the 200 home neighborhood got together and in an afternoon using the sawmill and machine shop over on their now-isolated region put together an impromptu bridge to at least get some foot traffic through, and organized a shuttle service on both sides.
We're still having mudslides. I had a large tree (big enough to flatten my home) simply slowly fall over this afternoon, luckily not doing anything more than blocking the road below me. The soil was so saturated the tree just...gave up.
I wonder what happens to the region when the Cascadia Fault quake hits?
