Horrible.

The heaviest rain to hit Nova Scotia in more than 50 years triggered floods causing "unimaginable" damage. Four people are missing, including two children.

Meanwhile, we are still fighting record wildfires all over the country.

1. They had bad wildfires this spring. Vibes to the people there.

2. So Sorry about So Much Rain in

Nova Scotia and the Heavy Flooding!

Nova Scotia is one of my favorite Province's in Canada. We went there in 2005 on a camping trip all over the Maritime Provinces.

Also sorry about all the Wildfires!

3. Nova Scotia is one of my favourite places. I went to University there

and lived there later on. Such a great place full of great people. Both my grandmothers and mother were from NS. Kind people. My mom's sister lived there her whole life. She dove me around the province over the years. I had fun with she and her husband at Christmases: after I had finished exams I'd stay with them for a few days. They were great.

5. What great memories you have in

in Nova Scotia, apple!

While on this camping trip we went to a Concert in Halifax featuring The Proclaimers from Scotland. I was obsessing over them at the time and my friend in New York got us tickets. Best trip ever!

I went in the Ocean.. I don't remember where the beach was.. she was driving but I wanted to go in the Ocean.. It was September and really cold water therapy!

6. The ocean waters around the south west and south and eastern

NS are really cold most of the summer. It August at Hirtles Beech, on the South Shore near Lunenburgh or La Have, the water is tolerable but and refreshing but not warm. The north east in NS, across from where Prince Edward Island is, is much warmer as they get water from central Canadian lakes and rivers like the St Laurence River. It is about 5 - 10 degrees warmer. I would not be surprised if the ocean is warmer everywhere this summer due to climate change. Saw many a band in university as Halifax pubs often had bands. Fun times.

7. Mahalo for that lesson on the

beaches around Halifax. Your time there does sound like so much fun!

Speaking of Prince Edward Island.. we also went by Lucy Maude Montgomery's home. So beautiful.

8. Spent time in PEI 5 times. So pretty.

4. Fire and rain...the planet is calling for help

but $$$$ still rules most decisions when discussing "climate change".

9. There is plenty of money to be made in helping the planet...

...the problem is, it's OIL and GAS money that makes all the decisions.

10. Yes, I agree.

11. Three months worth of rain in 24 hours

Houston overuses "unimaginable". Then he says "unimaginable" and finishes the sentence talking about emergency preparedness.

It is the job of emergency response planners to imagine the unimaginable.

12. Four people "unaccounted for". Two children in one incident and a child and a man in another

Search unsuccessful so far.

13. I know. So sad. If only they had stayed inside or got to the first house they came across and

invited themselves in for protection and comfort.
