Glad this didn’t happen last Saturday…

I drove this road over that very spot twice that day:

It was pretty wet out there all last week and only started to clear off on Saturday. Frankly not surprised the slide happened where it did - that area took the brunt of the wildfire two years ago and much of the mountain side has been stripped of vegetation..

Yikes… Did it wash out that section of road as well? Does not look like an area with many detours…
-
Yes from what people there are saying a stretch of the road was washed down into the lake. It’s the only road on that side of the lake. Big problem for people who live north of the slide and work in Kelowna. They now have to travel close to 60 miles one direction to get to work. That road cuts 45 miles off their commute.
