The United States is one of the few world governments that does not directly fund it’s Olympic team. It is fully funded by corporate sponsorships and private donations.
Which means our athletes don’t represent the American government.
They represent the American people.
In terms of SW BC and SW BC only. I really hope the CMC model run stays like this. What you are seeing is a storm strength similar to November 13-15, 2021, except WA is about to be absolutely fucking rocked by what would also be a Category 5 Atmospheric River. In the November 13-15, 2021, Storm, the colors were exactly like this, except all targeted at SW BC.
I want to be very clear. We will get hit hard in this Storm tomorrow in SW BC. But nowhere near as bad as WA is about to see.
In WA, they are in big time trouble. River forecasts are showing many of them reaching major flood stage criteria. Landslide potential here is also very high. This is a potentially catastrophic storm for some in WA over the next 4 days. If you live in SW BC, take precautions as needed. But I do ask to please be thinking of our neighbors down in WA. This is our November 13-15, 2021 Storm, except it is aimed straight at WA this time. Some mountain areas will see 300+ mm of rainfall in a 72-hour period. With already saturated soils and high snow levels, that will all be run-off and flowing down into the valleys.
I will storm chase if I can. But I am not going to be putting myself at risk of being trapped by mudslides. #bcstorm

Yesterday’s M7.0 earthquake occurred 55 miles (88.5 km) north of Yakutat, Alaska, near the southern Yukon–Alaska border and was felt across western Yukon Territory. Several aftershocks have been reported, up to M6.1. There is NO tsunami threat to #BC. More info: https://t.co/h1u5RZHdOI
Damn.
This guy meant so much to so many of the broadcasters who came after him. When I arrived in Vancouver to do mornings when we signed Z95 on the air, Red was doing mornings on CISL across the hall. Of course I knew his history as Canada's first rock'n'roll DJ but soon...
We mark the anniversary of the Sullivan Mine tragedy and the loss of #Paramedics Kim Weitzel and Shawn Currier.
Take a moment today to remember Kim, Shawn and the 8 other Paramedics who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. #NeverForget#LODD@APBC873
@BC_EHS this is on the doors of @OPSEU277 ambulances, in plain view to patients. Can we do similar? #protectparamedics our incidences of workplace violence are way too high weather reported or not.
Once I understood why I used drugs the way I did, because of undiagnosed ADD, trauma, PTSD, and when I started receiving support for those underlying issues it was a lot easier to treat my addiction. #WeDoRecover#Support
Fast-moving water is dangerous. Be aware of fallen/unstable trees & utility poles, damaged gas & power lines & water/sewage contamination. Avoid all unnecessary travel. If you must leave your location, check @DriveBC for the latest updates.

UPDATE: Hwy 7 is now open for passenger vehicles westbound from Hope.
Those who have been stranded in Hope can now make their way out into the Lower Mainland.
Please be patient, follow the directions of staff, and don't travel if it's not essential.

PPE is essential in the fight against #COVID19. You may see York Paramedics wearing a Powered Air Purifying Respirator to 911 calls. The #PAPR provides 150% better protection for paramedics and helps improve communication with our patients.
