'Once in 500 years' storm leaves collapsed bridges and record flooding
A 'once in 500 years' Pacific Northeast storm in British Columbia that caused record rainfall and flooding has left a trail of destruction behind, including collapsed bridges, submerged roads, and thousands of dead cattle – as officials grapple with emergency evacuations and food shortages.
A couple weeks ago climate change was mixed in with a mention of the Vice series, While The Rest of Us Die. Warning us of the drastic results we are going to face in the near future. That was the segment, Food Kills. British Columbia just got a good taste of it recently. A lot of places have been also though. We just don't get the gory details as we do in this case as it mostly effects indigenous people out of sight and minds. Much like the contamination disasters our corporations take to their native lands for capitalist profits.
As you'll see in the slide show, you don't have to be primarily ground zero of the sudden rapid rainfall to be effected. Towns outside of ground zero are cut off due to highways and power being taken out who suffer also. Visualize larger storms of this magnitude hitting not just one near by region but multiple regions around you.
