Too bad Matt, I was thinking this deluge we are getting in Vancouver overnight and today may have passed over towards your area first.

We gad 22 mm's in the last 24 hours.
Now saying we will only see another 3 mm's in the next 24 hours.
Not enough.
Sky is broken overcast and it has become quite windy again.
We can still see the smoke nut thankfully the wind has shifted some and were not completely inundated with that at this point.
The cooler weather and a little bit of rain seems to have helped.
It no longer appears to be crowning, and has been deemed a "smouldering ground fire"
Fingers remain crossed they continue to tame this Beast!

Looks like the ceiling is higher now for the aircraft to get in too. Hopefully it's contained soon. Good luck to those affected

The smoke is the lower white "cloud" on the center right of the pix.
The balance above appear to be regular cloud formations.

Gotcha, wasn’t sure without that yellowish tinge…or at least not that I can see on my small phone screen.

BC Hydro says Bamfield power outage could last up to two weeks after wildfire damage
BC Hydro warns it could take up to two weeks to restore power to Bamfield and nearby First Nations after the Mount Underwood wildfire destroyed dozens of power poles and kilometres of line.More than 500 customers have been without electricity since Aug. 11, and crews began a major rebuild Friday after receiving clearance from BC Wildfire Service.
The outage began after the wildfire swept through the area, with the extensive damage including 56 poles and roughly 20 kilometres of line that must be replaced, covering six kilometres of terrain that includes steep cliffs and unstable rock.
Three crews, supported by vegetation workers and pole-digging machines, began work Friday, focusing on ground preparation and pole installation. Additional crews will join as the project advances.
Because Highway 4 remains closed, crews are accessing the site through Duncan, adding two hours to their daily travel.
BC Hydro estimates power could be restored within two weeks, but the timeline may change as work continues.
“Timelines will be reassessed regularly, and BC Hydro is hopeful as work continues the timeline can be accelerated,” the company said in a statement. “The safety of BC Hydro crews, first responders and the public remains the top priority throughout this restoration effort.
The Mount Underwood wildfire, measured Saturday at 3,671 hectares, continues to burn out of control. During the outage, residents of Bamfield have been relying on generators and community support. Locals say the region is used to long outages, though typically during winter storms.
