    After all the press on shortages it was with some sense of wariness that I visited the grocery store yesterday . I was pleasantly surprised to see the shelves fully stocked . Because we are sealed off by rail and road I had expected to see some missing meats, dairy, veggies, and TP .... No idea how they are getting it as I know it isn't coming in by sea .....The brands are the same so it's not coming from the US { except the veggies } ...... Looking out my window at the gas station on the corner there is no unusual traffic there either .....

        Unfortunately, with all these mountains in British Columbia, roads and towns are generally in the valleys.

        Blasting a mountainside to get a road or railway positioned upslope is not the answer either, if you look at just one example, "the Malahat" (the road between the provincial capital, Victoria and the rest of the island). Slides of snow, rock, or mud are an everpresent concern on road and rail corridors here.

          yeah our downtown core and riversides in the valley are all flood plain. When when the perfect storm of mountain snow melt and heavy rain arrived at the same time everyone was surprised that the flood plain flooded. Insurance company's have been telling homeowners no more coverage for flood damage, build on a flood plain and you accept the risk.

                It's been heartbreaking to watch the reports of animals drowning.
