Re: From fires to floods
Abbotsford farmer loses his Saffron crops.
cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and carrots have also been significantly affected.
57 blueberry farms will apparently have to rip out all their plants and replant.
Farmer in the article plans to see the farm, his family is no longer willing to live in the flood zone.

Re: From fires to floods
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.
