April

I have been taking weather observations for science, and and I found out that we have had a very warm and sunny April. Wonder what May will bring? This morning I read about the Thompson Flood. Floods are hard to predict sometimes. The reason there were so many deaths was because people in the canyon didn't listen to the warnings. They thought that flood waters rose slowly. They were wrong. The water rose quicker than they thought. The flood waters slam cars against rocks. people that were in their cars had little chance of surviving. Those that survived, climbed up the side of the canyon to be rescued in the morning. Next time there is a flood warning, do what they say, and follow their instructions. You'll be glad you did in the end.
