#MooseFire22 #Mudslides

The Salmon River road downriver from Salmon is a mess tonight. Currently people are trapped downriver by the mudslides, boulders and debris (from the #MooseFire '22 burn scar) blocking the road. The forest service has dispatched equipment tonight to begin digging out the road.

#ClimateDiary 2/2 and they only ever send her beautiful scenery shots, not photos of polluted air or fires.

All this is notable. #Rural areas are at the forefront of experiencing #ClimateChange. Most people living there, around the globe, are disadvantaged and poor, but also include #middleclass people who moved for lifestyle and now it’s really hard - #wildfires #floods and #mudslides and increasingly no #insurance - but it’s also really hard for some of these to admit this #Disavowal

Before and after. All done clearing the very light and fluffy snow. #Minnesota #winter sure isn't boring. But I'll take this over #hurricanes #tornadoes #mudslides #flooding #humidity #earthquakes anytime. #MNastodon

In Montecito life puts us to the test
With million-dollar views and mudslide risk
Every five years we face a catastrophe
Our homes are threatened and we must flee
While the views are something of beauty,
The risks come with life in California
The cost of living in

Usually I can’t remember the last time it rained. Today I can’t remember when it started raining. 🌧️💦

“California is a land of extremes,” says Julie Kalansky, @CW3E_Scripps@twitter.com deputy director @Scripps_Ocean@twitter.com. It stands out for having the greatest annual variation between wet and dry years in the continental U.S.

The #rain in #santabarbara is no joke. It’s 5 years to the day since 23 people died in the #montecito #mudslides. Be safe people. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1612553888644857856

@ai6yr the Ojai Valley and areas near the Ventura River are going to experience some serious problems if this verifies.

@rocketfinns this too shall pass, as it always does. Still better than #hurricanes #tornadoes #mudslides #hotnhumid #snakes #gators which we don't get much of.

@maiakbc It's a good point about #MudSlides. I agree and yet I think one thing we have to get used to doing is solving big problems even if it creates smaller problems we have to also solve.

We aren't guaranteed that the best way out of the #ClimateCrisis has no complications. We aren't even guaranteed there is a way out. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

In this case, that's why I tagged #xeriscaping. This is something people in the southwest have some experience with, so I'm going to trust they'll do what they can to be thoughtful. Maybe some expert on that issue will chime in here. (hint, hint)

But, either way, clearly there is no way to justify the continuation of water use just for aesthetics if we are likely to run short of it for essentials. If that means people have to sometimes plant something else, or even have to move to be out of the paths of potential mud slides, that's probably better than others suffering without water.
