I live inthe interior, about 5hrs from Vancouver, and we are only cut off from Vancouver and Calgary...but our grocery stores are now out\very low on vegetable and dairy.

I suspect some panic buying, but very sobering to see how fragile our food delivery system is.

Well, according to a press conference with the mayor of Abbotsford on Nov 16th at 9 pm pst [1], 50% of poultry, dairy, and eggs consumed in BC come from the Sumas Prairie region. This is an area that has just been ordered to evacuate and further flooding poses significant risk to life.

Looks like the supply of the food is going to be pretty harmed if the flooding continues.
