Teslin_, I saw the story earlier. The names were familiar but I didn't quite realize these were your stomping grounds.

Geez, you guys are getting hammered this year. Fire and flood, and nothing in between.

I suppose this is just past the peak of the annual melt? Lots of water flowing right about now? And I'm guessing that both towns and farms are on the high side of the flood plain (since the other option is 'blasted into the mountainside')? It all sounds like a recipe for trouble -- what we call the '100 year flood' around here.

Keep us up to date. National media only reports in detail when there are orphans crying beside their smashed homes, etc., etc.

BTW, the Google map is quite amazing. Didn't know they had big-scale topos -- duh.
