A Tsunami in the Coast Range

Someone writes to accuse me of dramatic exaggeration.

Via brother dru the geoscientist and industry professional [italics mine]:

"MoFR [BC Ministry of Forests staff] told me Foley Creek was really hit hard by the last storm. Landslides came down into Foley Lake and made a tsunami (!) and Foley Creek jumped its banks below Airplane [Creek] and now runs where the Foley road used to be. Airplane bridge is completely washed away. No access to Foley Creek above Chilliwack Bench turnoff for the foreseeable future. Ling Lake, Welch Peak, Williamson Lake etc. will all be more difficult to access for the forseeable future. This will be an expensive road to reconstruct."

Via BCMoFR website: "Chilliwack-Foley Creek FSR [Forest Service Road]: This road is closed at 0.0km due to flood damage."
