Hi everyone. there’s a huge mudslide 35 km east of Teraace I had a local send me picture that they took and have posted it on my photosite.

It’s pretty tremendous i’m guessing it’s going to take a while to clear. It’s been reported to be about 40 ft high and 200 ft wide. a doozy for sure.
Gnarly.
Amazing sight. 
I hope no one was killed.
The tourists are trapped! Gouge em good!!!
Heh, I overheard some tourists in town talking today about the mudslide:
"Well we can stay here a day or two if we have to"…muhahahhaha…there is no escape from PR. 
Well if you were any kind of Lou Grant, you’d break the budget and get a helicopter shot… 
or better yet find an empty seat in a small local plane from Terrace that’s flying over and will take me for peanuts.
dude its only like 36,000 cubic meters of rubble, they will have it cleared so your emails can get through soon enough.
Hey folks,
Check out the pics on www.rupertdaily.ca

Gee lucky you don’t depend on fiber… 
Don’t be silly, it’s not closed!
My buddy just came down the highway. He had to take a detour up toward Stewart, then on some Forest Service roads, and down through the communities north of Terrace. He said there was a fair bit of traffic considering the craphole roads.
Anyone have updates on the progress of clearing the road? We’re planning to head to Terrace next weekend and I really would prefer to take the car instead of my rattly old gas guzzler 4x4.
Looks like it is opening up for a limited time each day.

I just came through today, no problems at all. They have one lane cleared and are letting people through at different times throughout the day. The trick is just to time it right so you get to the roadblock just before they start letting people go to avoid the wait.
I took the cranberry connector on Monday and I wouldn’t suggest taking it unless you have to. The road is a typical dirt logging road so expect rock chip damage. The biggest fear though is the idiots who don’t take thier time. On monday I was traveling through to PG and had three different people nearly crash into my front end because they were going too fast. I even had my headlights and four way flashers on.
It sounds nice already! What’s the make/model/year?
