We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Its all closed. Vancouver has been isolated. Seems like a net positive to me.

Yeah, Merrit is completely flooded with mandatory evacuation notices... residents are being directed to Kamloops or Kelowna...

I dunno, trying to rebuild that much infrastructure through the winter is not going to be easy, especially if we get more significant rain events.

Truck container traffic will be stalled,

I  wonder if the rail lines are OK ?

did that all come down as rain or is there snow up high ?

In all seriousness though, many structures on hwy 5 were built around some serious geotechnical challenges, successfully. The big issue now with winter approaching will be the hangfire above the startpoints. This aint gonna be easy.

did the Wetsuet en shut down the CN main at Hazelton ? that would mean be no east bound rail traffic of any kind
