Damn that's looking bad
Stay safe my northern friends
Mother Nature is a cruel BITCH sometimes
I've driven thru/stayed in
your lovely country/Territory
a few times heading to Yukon Terr. & to Alaska
so sad to see all that destruction, both floods & fires
we have alike/the common denominators are
Poor leadership of
both water or forestry management problems
of the natural resources,
too concerned about
eco-nazi BS
Green grant scams, some smelt, some moth, some bird,
some rodents or just '
activists' stopping all of it etc.
(moratoriums, logging or water retention, dams, electricity
)
instead of helping
the people/HUMANS that work, pay taxes
& keep the place going/thriving & safe
I can somewhat relate
We here in rural Calif. have some of the same types of ailments
that plague US 'NOW' too
we also never had them issues 20-25+ years ago
when we controlled/managed the water & forestry
better,
logging is a huge part, they kept the forest floor clean
(in areas where humans & nature often meet)
removed the diseased trees, downed trees & cleared brush
cut logging roads 'that act as fire breaks', especially near towns/cities
& the businesses that support them too
it employs/ed millions, good-paying skilled labor jobs
& add the recreation/damns bodies of controlled waters etc.
that help tame/control-manage water retention way better,
then mother nature does in our combined 'Human/natural environments'
we need to help/control some of it...
best of luck, stay safe & try to stay dry
