    Canada's West coast weather

    Mudslides, torrential rains, snow and high winds. Roads closed and one entire city evacuated.

    Looks like some of our British Columbia members may be seeing plans washed out, but hopefully noting more tangible than that will be lost.

      Yes, could be really bad, but still it could be worse. Have you read the story of back when Noah built the ark?? Now that was a lot of rain.

          This is about six blocks from me { fortunately downhill } ...... That barge in the upper left broke loose from Kits Buoy and washed up on Sunset Beach . The cyclist is riding around the Stanley Park seawall ......

            Yesterday near my house....I was going to start a thread about it all but Todd already did the PNW River thing so I figured it was already covered.

            Lot's of people got free Helicopter rides yesterday...

              Hate seeing stuff like that. Best of luck up there. Some of us can relate. Back in 2010 Nashville had a big'un, water in places we'd never seen it before for days. 23 deaths if I remember right. Back in 1974 the community of Statesville TN., appx. 8 mi. from me, almost washed away, general store & a few houses completely gone, church turned sideways on it's foundation, roads & bridges gone. It's devastating. Be careful.

                  That's one way to look at it.

                      Pretty rough couple of days. Today though, I was driving home in the pickup about noon and was blinded by sunlight and it was 6c. So, out came the 1150 and I got in a quick, enjoyable ride. Going to be rough for awhile with our major highway routes to the food warehouses cut off for I would imagine a few weeks at least. I would think our supplies will be coming from Alberta now. I personally could care less about any random junk from China, just food is my concern.

                        I hate stupid, selfish people!

                        The nightly closure of the Malahat Highway over the next week due to flood damage is also impacting fuel supply on the South Island.


                        Just got home...the roads are crazy busy with people draining every last bit of gas from filling stations. Grocery stores are a mess too!
                        If everyone would just buy gas and groceries normally there would ne issues. But no...you can't fix the stupid and the selfish!
                        I really hate people!
                        The gas station by my house is closed...out of gas. And many are doing the same now....what's wrong with people?!

                            Perhaps.......they remember that they missed out on getting supplies when so very many people had that same panicked buying response to Covid, and this time they want to get theirs before shelves become empty .....

                              People were showing up at gas stations with jerry cans in their trunks! The grocery stores have had to put limits on the amount of meat people can buy....trust me when I say....these are paranoid, selfish pricks!
