I had stopped looking at Twitter but then this #BCStorm sucked me back in. 5.29” since Saturday (54th & Selkirk, Vancouver). Nothing like the 10.35” in 8 hours we experienced this summer near Firesteel, SD. Still, it’s really wet.

The United States is the only country in the world besides the Vatican that is not a party to the underlying treaty, the Convention on Biological Diversity, a situation largely attributed to Republican opposition. https://t.co/NAF6UXWZj1

Extreme heat in 2021 breaks the famous Dust Bowl record from 1936 for hottest summer on record in the USA.

In 1936, we observed a hot blob on a relatively cool planet. Today, we have a hot blob on a warm planet.

Large desert ironwood trees are dense on site of proposed Oberon #Solar Project. This should be an Area of Critical Environmental Concern, not a solar energy development zone. Desert tortoise love to dine on fallen seed pods of ironwood, so do burro deer. #biodiverse #desert

After a nearly 13 year hiatus from serious #running I’m back at it! On warm weather runs I wear shorts with a 3” seam, ankle socks, shoes & nothing else. So during my weekly long run today I overheard the classic 4 year-old question: “why does that man have no clothes on?”

@POCO_bob @MMadryga @News1130Weather @Kusswx @ECCCWeatherBC @CoCoRaHSCanada I should be more on the ball with updating my data every day. I’m CAN-BC-39.

@KevinWoster It seems @govkristinoem has a real issue with who she is and what she says. I met her once and she introduced herself as Kristi Moore. But, I guess we should all take a chill pill and let her pillage the state’s coffers...

[Chris @CWKopp]

@govkristinoem @HyVee @southdakota Did you use your real name or were you Kristi Moore today?

There are 21 local health areas in British Columbia with at least 100,000 people.

Adjusted for population, here's how many cases each of them had in July.

In fact, it makes the Kelowna area look even worse.
