    Cascadia Fault Quake? I hope I'm long gone.

    What's happening north of me is eye-opening, that's for sure.

    I had no idea this was happening or that it is so bad. Ditto IL - stay safe, everyone!

    Those pictures are mindblowing... On some level, you always know that a newsworthy disaster was bad (quake, flood, fire, etc) but actually seeing the pictures and how everything got destroyed... O_o Ye gods. Stay safe, and please post more on the local situation if you can. I'm afraid what's happening in BC right now will become more commonplace in the coming years: the way the community bands together, and the authorities as well, will help prepare for more such disasters.

    And it's much much much worse over on the mainland in the adjoining counties and BC.

    A feral cat colony I follow is based in a forest outside of Fort Langley, BC, and the founder is offering to board all the cats she can until they can be given back to the owners or rehomed. She hasn't said anything about a flooding disaster, so they're OK for now. If they hadn't been, she and her firefighter friends would have deployed their kayaks for sure.

    My Oru folding kayaks have been proving quite handy!

    All rail service out of the port of Vancouver has been cut off by the flooding. A lot of containers rail down to Chicago from Vancouver.

    I can see Tsawwassen out my window right now, where all the container ships come and go. Looks a bit problematic.
