Had to shrink the candles on our now "hotly anticipated" year-in-review graphic. That's because ebbwater turns 12 today. The density of lit candles is inching towards being its own hazard!
We are continuing to learn and unlearn as we prep for our teenage years. Happy Birthday to us ;)

Solid principles for relocation in the face of climate #risks in this US report. We especially like the ideas of equity and inclusiveness. There's a lot of places in Canada that could apply these as we begin to have difficult conversations about managed #retreat.

Today's M7.0 earthquake off northern California was not a subduction earthquake, but is an important reminder for us in Cascadia (northern CA to northern Vancouver Island) that different types of large earthquakes occur here. Know what to do when the shaking begins ⚒️🧪
