the wind is thankfully and rarely blowing NNE. So might be moving away from town. No info yet.

4/n Not going to sugar coat this.
Tonight, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday could be very scary.
If the rain comes on Friday that will help immensely.
I believe every person in the City of Port Alberni should Get a grab and go bag ready right now.
Make arrangements with friends and family out of town if you can just in case.
This is serious. It could go bad very quickly. The best we can do is be over prepared.
@alberniweather WOW, that's a big one. Much bigger than the official 100 acres they have up right now. Stay safe!
