Alberniweather ☔️ ☀️ ❄️ 🌬️shit.
very close to #portalberni
must have only started in the past hour or two.
Looks like it is south of the city, near China Creek.
the wind is thankfully and rarely blowing NNE. So might be moving away from town. No info yet.
The south facing Alberniweather WebCam has the best view. 😢
Apparently, it is very near China Creek. Please do not approach that area.
Or anywhere on the southside of town to ensure emergency vehicles can get down there

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.
peter (not the famous one)@alberniweather THANK YOU - I called my brother there, and he's got the gobag started since my sister called him ten minutes before.
And unholy merde, BC wildfire service says this thing is bigger (as of 10:18 pm) than the Cameron Lake one got to. In like, about six hours.
I bet townsite parking is going to be a hassle if they evacuate China Creek RV.
@harmoniousanger np.
China Creek is evacuated. The road was quickly closed as it looks like the fire jumped across it early on.
All China Creek campers have been redirected to the Fall Fair grounds in Port Alberni. The ACRD has put this information out on the "Voyent Alert” app.
All evacuees are currently directed to the Athletic Hall in Port Alberni
