metropolitan area

This time, it looks like an Orange County work crew teamed up with a warming planet to deprive a metropolitan area of its best access to nature.

Lisa Materna and her husband moved from one Arizona city to another in July — specifically, from a third story apartment in Goodyear to a single story home in Glendale — and did not expect an arduous move because it had not yet hit peak temperatures in the Phoenix metropolitan area’s West Valley.

On Friday, the local authorities said traffic would be limited in the Valencia metropolitan area between 00:00 local time on Saturday and 23:59 on Sunday.

A dam is being proposed, along with a $400-million pipeline that would take water from the San Luis Valley and channel it to the Denver metropolitan area.

Both the heavily populated Tampa Bay metropolitan area and the region just south of it are at grave risk, although some meteorologists have suggested the storm’s path may alter or “wobble.”
