2/8 Evacuation orders are expanding in Abbotsford.

South of the border, Sumas, Wash., was inundated in the span of an hour.

Data suggests a flood similar to 1990—smaller than 2021, but dangerous enough to close Highway 1 and threaten livestock.

Back to this. we are seeing a plateauing. That could be good. But it could also just suggest the gauge has topped out and we have hit the "water goes everywhere" stage earlier than anticipated, which would suggest a bigger -- or at least an earlier -- peak than anticipated.

This gauge is suggesting the river is peaking below major flood level. That would be good. But the fact the river is overflowing at Everson suggests that the calibration of the gauge could turn out to have been miscalibrated. The overflow levels we can see don't quite match this.

The city says modelling suggests "flooding may be more than what was seen in 2020 but not as significant as the 2021 event." Overflow water will take about 7 hours to get to the border from the Nooksack overflow location.
