Hwy97a is closed at 6 mile Swansea point at hummingbird creek the opened up the road on either side of the culvert under the hwy. as well at 2mile where waterways is the bridge is closed there they were hit much harder so ther is no way to get to sicamous via hwy97a at all and they don't know when they will be able to. If you want to talk to me mp me your number and I can explain more.

Your the best I'm freeking out a little feeling helpless and just want to get there and be with them! My parents are my life so I'm waiting to hear from them tonight and decide if I'm closing up the shop here early to go help...I feel sick this is the 2nd time but our prayers worked and the house was not touched! We need the rains to stop and no hot weather so the snow can melt slowly lol

That's so devastating. I can't believe the pictures your posting C!! My thoughts are with you and your family. You know my number if you need anything. I'm on a few days off too if you need anything.

Holy crap PINKalicious. Not much a person can do from this neck of the woods but my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and all those that are affected by the raging waters.
