Rime posted:Bobbing there in the Coquihalla River, where its protective road has been ripped off, is 200m of the Trans Mountain Pipeline. The 60+ year old, 300,000bpd oil & fuel link between the pacific coast and Alberta. This pipe carries 90% of the refined fuels supplied to British Columbia. It provides 10-15% of the unrefined supply for the refineries in Washington State. This is not the only location where it has been compromised. The road to either side of this location has been totally destroyed in both directions in multiple places. well when there's oil money involved i'm sure they'll have segments replaced lickity split. but not anything else. but yeah my money wouldn't have been on vancouver getting hosed, that's for sure. certainly expected like miami or heat death wave with massive power grid meltdown in phoenix first on my bingo cards.

Wolfy posted:I wouldn’t worry too much but like, thinking about having some food and water around and how you would respond in such a disaster if your house isn’t on top of you is probably a good exercise. yeah it is mandatory to have a 5 gallon bucket stuffed with emergency food and water if you live on the west coast. more if you have a family or pets to feed

mod sassinator posted:we are like 10 years overdue for a clockwork regular every 300 year 8.0 earthquake.. seriously, last one was in the 1700s. it will be bad assuming you mean a subduction zone quake, the yearly variance is actually less over time. 200-300 years (averaged) in the last 10k years, 600-800 in the last 6000, and even less frequently over the past 3. but anyway a rainier lahar event is far more scary to me than a megathrust event. we’re lucky on the interior of the puget sound, being relatively shielded from the tsunami event and the relative distance from the epicenter would dampen the actual earthquake itself. it would still be really bad though. whereas a partial collapse of rainier and the subsequent lahar would wipe Tacoma off the map and a lot of south Seattle around the duwamish rivershed much worse for Hawaii and Japan especially

Living in the PNW, I really need an emergency kit in my house and car. Not really sure what to put in it, flashlights, blankets, water. The fires this year and last year, flooding this week, potential snow soon, it seems to be extremely unpredictable lately.

Not really sure what to put in it, flashlights, blankets, water. snow is very irregular but floods are predictable since it’s pretty much every year. for what’s in your bag, way more water than you think necessary. flashlights, lots of batteries, food like canned soups if you have space, at least 2 first aid kits, one trauma kit, ??? that’s what we have I’m sure there’s other good stuff.

I greatly enjoyed reading the following Maclean’s article on Canadian real estate after events in BC these last days https://www.macleans.ca/longforms/canadian-real-estate-market-housing-2021/ quote:The snap-up sales and bidding wars have elbowed into the lumber mill town of Merritt, a 270-km wind up the Coquihalla Highway from Vancouver. About 90 per cent of purchasers in recent months are from the Lower Mainland, says agent Janis Post, and the half-million dollars that luxury homes in Merritt used to fetch is now the typical price. When locals inquire about selling, she warns them to make plans. “Because if we put your house on the market, it’s going to get multiple offers fast, and you need a place to go.”

(editor's note: ok but if the ground is still waterlogged what happens???) - Snowfall warnings remained in place overnight for the Coquihalla Highway, with Environment Canada saying up to 20 centimetres of snow could fall between Hope and Merritt. - Wind speeds are still expected to be high throughout B.C. Gusts of up to 90 km/h were forecast in parts of the Fraser Valley on Monday.

Tabletops posted:essentially west of 100, east of the Rockies, and the entire southwest as the Colorado rivershed eventually dries up by "southwest" do you mean "the southwest portion of the Midwest?" I'm in the twin cities, we have really good freshwater access which is nice, but I could definitely see parts of Iowa and Nebraska being hit pretty hard but obviously most people in the Midwest lives either here, or other major urban areas like Chicago

Paradoxish posted:Like the funny thing about the technophile approach to climate change is that it's actually based on completely faulty assumptions with no basis in historical fact. Also, what we think of as "inventing stuff" is mostly just finding ways to harness surplus energy. Hooking up a heat source to a thing that goes around and around as the heat dissipates, and then variations on that theme seeping into every crack and crevice over time. Industrial society is not too different from the ecology of a hydrothermal vent.  Preserving all that complexity while cutting off energy inputs is a completely different kind of problem, but we keep throwing our existing framework at it ("heat source -> thing go around", i.e. direct-air carbon capture), and it's just not going to work.

https://twitter.com/KateAronoff/status/1460976028487200775  quote:The enormous size of the lease sale – covering an area that is twice as large as Florida – is a blunt repudiation of Biden’s previous promise to shut down new drilling on public lands and waters. It has stunned environmentalists who argue the auction punctures the US’s shaky credibility on the climate crisis and will make it harder to avert catastrophic impacts from soaring global heating.
