1. Side thread: With the Nooksack in "major flood" stage and its water heading north of the border (hence the evac alerts), worth considering what that can mean. Luckily we have a report from last year spelling out just what a Nooksack flood can look like.
2. Study looked at a variety of scenarios. Unclear right now which one we are looking at. We haven't yet seen Highway 1 closed, as happened in 1990, but that seems verrrrrrry possible. 
3. One potential consequence: Flooding of many farm parcels with sewage lagoons.
