shootingstar Posted February 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2019 For the past few years, these are the sort of natural events which became abnormal, made one pause about enjoying the great outdoors: *We had a major river flood in 2013. Over 100,000 people were evacuated, several billion dollars of damage/rebuilding. - Since then, the physical barriers for low-lying bike path areas near river, do have meaning. I was evacuated from home for 1 wk. Now certain residents, like me, do pay attention to local news on river water levels every spring. *Wildfire smoke from many wildfires burning for several months next door in British Columbia. Smoke did pollute our city air several hundred km. away. There were tainted air alerts. I didn't feel like cycling beyond 15 km. I made sure I closed doors, windows. You could not see Rocky Mountains on certain days past summer, just 1 km. in front of your face. - past 2 summers. ***********I'm certain some of this is pale to some of you where you live and try to enjoy nature/great outdoors. ?
