"Massive" Chilcotin River landslide in BC could cause flash flooding in next 24 to 48 hours

CLIMATE CHANGE!
The earlier landslides were likely caused by cavemen burning fuel.

News fails to realize that the sooner it blows the less damage will occur.  I bet it takes a week to drain instead of hours.

Imagine when a similar event occurred on the Columbia River.

And that was even before the climate changed.

doesn't seem so bad, it should just make it's own new path when it gets high enough.

Well there goes my plan of testing a few bunker busters. Yes I know people said blow it up, I am just being more specific on what I would have used.

That Youtube channel is excellent. I've been subscribed for a bit.

He really knows his shit, keeps his vids short and concise. I listen at 2x since he speaks slowly.

IIRC he is autistic too, so that also plays into how he delivers things.  He is in AZ.  I watch his channel most.. quick and to the point with the info.

Here's the crap from the Chilcotin flowing into the Fraser.



There is some concern because the salmon start swimming upstream to spawn soon.

BTW, how's this for a title?

The Chilcotin River Breaks Through Dam


TLDW:  Dam has not collapsed, water overtopping & eroding the dam gives river a height similar to normal spring flood levels, perhaps w/ a faster flow & certainly more debris.
