This.

If the euro caves though, chalk up another win for the GFS.

If it's around Monte Lake/Westwold and moving to the NE I'd assume it's moving away from Kamloops and not encroaching the area.

The satellite pictures only a few times per day, so there has not been an update for something like 6 hours.

The Monte Lake store is definitely gone. And now the evacuation order is extending North to include Prichard down at Highway 1.
