    My sister lives in Kelowna and the pictures and videos she sent me made it look like the actual apocalypse was happening there.

      That’s because it is an apocalypse. Just not the fast moving ones from movies and religions.

      The clips I’ve seen on other social media platforms has been horrifying to watch. I can only imagine what it must be like to be there right now - I hope your sister is safe 🙏

      In a cruel twist of irony, it marks the 20 year anniversary of the 2003 Okanagan Park fire. Most Kelowna residents would have experienced that and are probably retraumatized.
