Environment of B.C.

 NEWS TODAY ON TV: 

From the Premier of B.C. Hon. John Horgan: NO PANIC BUYING OR HOARDING.

Okay. Agricultural products in British Columbia will increase its price or dramatically increased its price because of the devastation of the agricultural lands in B.C. The flood waters on Fraser Valley has receded but then according to the news report it is starting to rain again. Isn't raining man, allelluiah it's raining man? WTH! If its not wildfires then it's rainstorm and tornadoes. Heh! No tornado in BC. 

I remember the book "Come Hell Or High Water " written by former Prime Minister of Canada, Hon. Paul Martin. Have you read it?  Canada has been battling a different kind of war: Wildfires & High Water.

I wonder if those two calamities are just normal within B.C. 

As far as I remember when I first arrived here in Canada in 1992 and my husband and I were long driving, traveling to the Fraser Valley area to the connecting towns and cities  and the radio inside the car had its news about lowland flooding. Because those parts of B.C. province are the flat lands and consider to be the land for anything like farm lands and dairy farms so when the snow melted at springtime to summer time the water flows freely like instantly to the irrigation system. However, this  time of the year...when snow is accumulated by the tons on the mountains and then the rainstorm is non-stop for more than a month and the snow melted quickly and rapidly, the water can flow like rushing water falls from the mountains down to the slopes and can ruin the concrete highways and bridges. Then the inevitable flash flood and when the flood gates are closed then the whole communities within flat lands (agricultural lands) will be dealing with flood waters and houses submerged on flood. 

This is the first time that incredible amount of flash flood has devastated the agricultural sector in B.C. Several years ago, Alberta suffered devastating flood of the century from rural area to urban cities of Alberta were submerged in filthy water for more than a month. 

Then it happened too in BC.

 

While BC flood wont have those filthy waters stayed that long as it is receding now. Good that they open the flood gates. I wonder why it was closed before?

So, no panic buying. Beware of the hoarders. Darn it. I want some chunks of beef! I need iron in my body. lol.
