Must have missed this by 5 minutes on my way back from my Oliver/Osoyoos and back ride ride. It was unbelievable watching wave after wave of mud and debris flowing across hwy 97. Luckily, no one was hurt.

It's terrible.  I was wondering if you were affected in any way, and of course, I was imagining if it had happened a week earlier when all the bikes were on the road.  Scary that you missed by only a few minutes - wow...

It's crazy, glad everyone's okay!

One of the houses that got taken out is a B&B my wife and I stayed at a couple of times....such a nice place! You can see their house in Peby's last pic - it's the one 1/2 in the slide on the right hand side of it near the top of the slide. You can see their house looks like it broke in 1/2!!!

There was a nice hot tub overlooking the creek that I went in after Osoyoos 1/2 Iron 2 years ago, and a nice rose garden around it.....now it's just mud and rocks!
