Meteorology of coastal rains

The other day my husband teels me on supper news would have to have been A channel 12 hudson mack or channel 6

film of duncan water was going down and there was a salmon stuck in the receding water.

now i think that is significant. i have never heard
of so much flooding that the salmon swimming upstream to lay their eggs could end up on city streets flooded.

that is another example of our crazy weather and effect of global warming.

to retrieve that tape the fish was on tv wriggling and alive in the water in duncan. true

Barry's Response - That third week of November 2009, British Columbia was subjected to a system known colloquially as a "pineapple express". This rain occurs when the polar jet stream transports atmospheric moisture from the mid-pacific along a frontal boundary to the BC (Washington or Alaska) coast and dumps an abnormal amount of water once it arrives, resulting in record rain or snowfalls.

Thanks for pointing out what you saw, Mrs. Lafreniere.
