#DBCalert: Chilliwack Lake Road Both directions | Major incident | Between Vedder Road and Chilliwack Lake Forest Service Rd | - | Travel advisory in effect. | Next update Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 9:00 AM PST

He's got a point.

Ton of highways connecting Interior of B.C. to the Lower Mainland have been closed tonight. Sheesh. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The presser has ticked along. Not a huge amount of new information. On Hope, which is cut off, officials say there have been no requests for assistance yet. On reliability of data and info, it will be ground-truthed tomorrow but officials seem relatively satisfied with it.

Officials now speaking. Basically all highways between the Lower Mainland and the Interior are closing. That includes Highway 1 in the Fraser Canyon and, soon, the Highway 99 toward Pemberton.

wow here we go.

Highway 1 eastbound closed to Hope. Highway 7 already closed.

We've got an urgent presser in 45 minutes. I will try to ask about the Nooksack gauge reliability.

This gauge is suggesting the river is peaking below major flood level. That would be good. But the fact the river is overflowing at Everson suggests that the calibration of the gauge could turn out to have been miscalibrated. The overflow levels we can see don't quite match this.

Whatcom County's big sandbags are failing at preventing flooding toward Canada.

Abbotsford's mayor and fire chief have provided an update here. Mayor Ross Siemens says the city is in a much better place than 2021. Anticipates flooding greater than 2020 (when the city wasn't affected much) but less than 2021. www.facebook.com/reel/1170630...

This is NOT current. Notice cropped out date? People are sharing this as fact on FB.

Fraser Valley RD posted an Evac Alert and Order at 1 pm Dec 10 for the Wilson Rd area. www.fvrd.ca/EN/main/serv...

BREAKING: Officials in Sumas, Wash., immediately south of Abbotsford will be sounding their flood siren that warns residents to evacuate. This is a sign of likely flooding in Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

The city says modelling suggests "flooding may be more than what was seen in 2020 but not as significant as the 2021 event." Overflow water will take about 7 hours to get to the border from the Nooksack overflow location.

Evacuation Alerts issued for Sumas Prairie West and Clayburn Village. 4 pm December 10, 2025 #BCSAR www.abbotsford.ca/alerts/evacu...

The Skykomish river, just down the hill from us, is less than a foot from record flooding.

This atmospheric river was expected to be concentrated south of the border (where the Nooksack is). One big thing to watch is how much rain hits places around the Coquihalla because the Fraser's level has a huge impact on the ability to drain water from Sumas Prairie. fvcurrent.com/p/sumas-prai...

So yearh. Looks like we've got a Nooksack flood happening. One hour versus now:

Significant flooding happening in NW Washington State and Southern BC. If you cats have vids or links that are timely I'd love to see.

Now the US are pirates?

Wow the coast is getting soaked!

Some substantial flooding is very possible in rivers near the U.S. Canada border. The Nooksack, for its part, is forecast to hit moderate flood stage, which probably wouldn't heavily impact Canada. But a lot will ride on the weather.

View at Nooksack overflow. The bags were added in the last week. They provide a limited dike restricting water flowing towards Canada.

8/ Bottom line: The U.S. took a step backward in vaccine policy on Friday, which will have deadly implications. But a huge grassroots effort refused to let ideology override science. Do not come between public health, clinicians, and children’s health. We are fiercely devoted to them.

1/ Fall vax rates are slipping, flu is taking off, and when it comes to vaccination schedules (or anything, really) the U.S. isn't Denmark. Plus, a gut-punch report on how ICE policies are shaping health behaviors and hurting kids’ health. Here’s your quick #publichealth briefing for the week!

Writeup was one of those weirdly common formats that mentions a paper but does not actually link to it: "Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of 3-Year-Old Children Exposed to Maternal SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Utero." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Scientists studied thousands of children born March 2020-May 2021. Out of 800+ mothers diagnosed with COVID-19, 16.3% of their babies received a neurodevelopmental diagnosis by 3 years old, compared with 9.7% who weren’t exposed to COVID-19 in utero.

Hugely important thread of info on this. Compassion Club was an overwhelmingly reasonable, considered, and just attempt to stop mass death completely ignored by all levels of government. Every single level of government could be saving lives tomorrow and chooses not to, everyday.
