i dunno if anyone has seen the chilcotin being impacted by a major landslide.
so w/ the many fires we've had in the past decade, the cariboo has standing trees that are dead. when it rains, those trees can no longer hold that water in their root systems & the soil. coupled w/ delicate sandy terrain, we get landslides.
this slide has dumped a monumental amount of debris in the chilcotin river which now means the risk of flooding for many communities.

@singlemaltgirl Following very closely… Getting flyover pics from GSC.
@anita_rotheram scary scary. we need rain for all the fires but i'm terrified if more rain gets dumped any where along the river
@singlemaltgirl Climate change is accelerating an already unstable BC geological landscape. I took this pic just below Lake Garibaldi last year, this is all that’s holding the lake back. It’s terrifying.
