The clips I’ve seen on other social media platforms has been horrifying to watch. I can only imagine what it must be like to be there right now - I hope your sister is safe 🙏
In a cruel twist of irony, it marks the 20 year anniversary of the 2003 Okanagan Park fire. Most Kelowna residents would have experienced that and are probably retraumatized.
It’s scary as hell. It’s way too early for any sort of reflection or research, but things are probably going to have to start changing in BC. This summer is going to force us to realize this, me be thinking.
But lots of time for all that down the road. Let’s hope, and help our neighbors through the storm first. I hope everyone gets out, and is safe. The tourism ban put into place this aft is well needed, and hopefully will help. It’s going to have one hell of an economic impact, but again lots of time down the road to evaluate and judge that.
Be safe Okanagians, we care, we are heartbroken, and will be ready to help when it’s appropriate.
