“When governments constantly reverse course, that suggests poor or no consultation, a lack of forethought, botched communications internally or externally (or both), or incompetence.” — by David Moscrop #onpoli tvo.org/article/the-fo…

European model quite bullish on a hard freeze late next week around the Great Lakes, Quebec and the northeast US. Likely overdone but something to watch.

Flooding on Sheikh Zayed Road, one of #Dubai ’s main arteries, has turned it into a massive line of stationary vehicles on one side and pedestrians all around trying to navigate giant pools of water! #Uaeweather #UAE

Dubai Int'l Airport picked up 119 mm (4.69 inches) of rain over the past 24 hours.

That's about a year and a half worth of rainfall in just 24 hours (Average annual precipitation: 3.1 inches).

Extraordinary event, it appears.

Some major flooding in Dubai today.

I don’t normally make posts like this, but felt I had to make this one given the circumstances. Today, at 5:15pm, I boarded an UP Express train at Bloor station, because it was the fastest way to get downtown for a baseball game. I now realize that what I did… 🧵

Still waiting for those 20-degree days!

And inevitably more and more urban sprawl.

Yikes! 4-8 millimetres of morning rain was all it took to overwhelm the sewage system in Toronto.

After the rain…. Comes the bugs.

Another day, another sewage bypass entering our lake. 😔

All of this plus the loss of natural habitat and the actual cost of building this highway. It's not worth it!

'Turn around don't drown'

Global News just hired a new security guard and he’s terrifying.
