Season 2, Episode 10 || Thursday, January 19th, 2023 || AVALANCHED IN!
On this week’s episode, I’m trapped in my hometown by a very large natural avalanche over the road! Literally as I was writing this episode, a natural avalanche knocked out my power and internet and trapped myself and my neighbors in by covering the only access road in 20 feet of debris. So, I adapted, and this week’s episode became covering the widespread avalanche cycle that occurred just outside my front door. Check out the CAIC for my field report with photos.
This week’s new “FUNK BREAK” is by The Limp Twins, a song titled “Another Day in the Life of Mr Jones”.
