M397 was seen in London, Ontario at 19:10. I’d assume it could easily have made it to Sarnia by now. Probably will cross during the night, unless they’re held up.

I just checked the Durand cam, M397 coasted slowly through Durand at 01:07 last night. Very sad indeed.

Edit: And it passed the MP 205 cam at 02:39 overnight.
