My wife is originally from Nelson. Her Mom and Dad live in the other end
of Kelowna. Her sister and brother-in-law live on McClure Road,
somewhere near Lakeside, Barnaby, etc. just below the ridge. They have
been on an Evacuation Alert for a few days. I think they finally were
forced to evacuate last night. I haven't heard what happened to them yet
(we'll call the parents tonight) but over 200 hundred homes in the
suburbs burned last night when it jumped the fire-breaks and came down
the ridge.

Must be quite a show from Westbank.
