More atmospheric rivers more problems.
Sumas, Washington reporting they expect some flooding between this afternoon and into tomorrow morning from the Nooksack, it's still expected to go over somepoint today, but looks like it's not forecast to be as bad as originally thought, they will sound the flood siren when time comes to evacuate. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...v-28-1.6265803 |

I only saw a news item a couple of weeks ago that this was the first time a saffron crop had been successful in Canada. It was time to harvest the stamens from the flowers :( |
