Coming or Going?

Yesterday, I blogged a photo of green grass. It was my reaction to the stormy weather of earlier in the week. There were other effects from the recent pineapple express which pumped subtropical moisture right across the Pacific to our doorstep. People out in the valley experienced flooding. The news reports showed families going back into soggy, muddy homes. How awful!

Although the Fraser River is a block away, we've little to worry about here. The river has been tamed through New Westminster. We did experience extra water as the municipal storm drains couldn't keep up with the tremendous amount of rain. The pressure from uptown had to flow somewhere. Rather than drain, the water created this fountain at a manhole cover at 8th and Columbia.
