"at least 10 riders were rescued by local search and rescue"
Mate: "It was forecast before the start. A few guys were writing about it in the Facebook group. Sofiane hasn’t taken any sleeping gear, lucky he is so dam fast and got thru before it arrived."
" Sparwood had an evacuation alert and Fernie was on flood warning - information readily available on weather websites and news. I believe Fernie SAR is up to 15 rescues on the Divide as of tonight, diverting helicopters and volunteers from flood monitoring and taking care of their own properties. SAR posted on Divide FB groups asking riders to wait for the storm to pass but the message was either not received or ignored."
