one thing i did not hear being bought up is invasive species, wonder how this will spread them out.

The stocked trout in Mill lake can go to the sea and come back as steelhead four years later

Cultus lake is a disaster. Frosst creek was a giant angry river. So much debris on the shores of sunnyside campground.

A video tells a story, but it doesn't always show the truth. Who knows what went on before and after it, I hope none of us feel like we are in a place to judge and wish having their house washed away is what they deserved.
Thank you for this.

The fish corpses will be in the trees when the water recedes - they will be even easier picking.

Possibly the most logical response given to a question on FWR or elsewhere. And what an incredible and poignant picture that would make.

High tide tomorrow 13.5 feet at around 5am, then again 14 feet at 4 pm.  The time to get out is now while the tide is low.  I know the times are a bit different but you get the picture.

That’s so bad my prayers go out that people with get out safe

Looks like Sumas Lake is coming back.. Maybe the Sturgeon want their home back. Still tragic for all the people who lived and worked there.  :'(

Listening to the update this morning it sounds like the nooksack river in the states is flooding Sumas and then it's draining towards the fraser. If the fraser lowers more they can open the flood gates and overflow into the Fraser and help the pumps out

don't know how many these days but in the day both the Sumas River and Lonzo creek (the little Sumas) had substantial populations of coho and chum spawning in the late fall. Whatever vestigial populations remain, this won't help them at all.
