Flooding Alberta!
I hope that all our friends in Bragg Creek, Canmore, Black Diamond and High River etc are ok.
They're saying this could be three times as severe as the flooding of 2005, just before we got here! http://www.google.ca/m/search?q=albe...I&ved=0CCoQqAI |
Re: Flooding Alberta!
Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for parts of southern Alberta, forecasting up to 100 millimetres of rain in the next two days.
Pfft. Mere drizzle. |
Re: Flooding Alberta!
And with it being Alberta, it'll probably be dry rain anyway.

Re: Flooding Alberta!
Not to worry. Water and Oil don't mix.
G'wan, get your Mayor to call in the army. |

Re: Flooding Alberta!
Woodmanbg lives in Bragg Creek. That's been evacuated now .... How awful. They think 100,000 people may be affected by this.

I hope they help and that everyone in the affected area does OK. But, can I hope that Albertans will stop mocking Toronto because a decade ago their last idiot Mayor (before the current idiot Mayor) called in troops during a perceived emergency?
The last thing I would categorize this flooding as, would be a perceived emergency. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...storify-w.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...y-plan-ch.html |

Re: Flooding Alberta!
We were here in 2005 and all the trails along the river were washed out in Red Deer, the have called for a local state of emergency here due to water being released from the damn. Its not good, just seen a clip of someone's house floating down the river at Bragg Creek. It's not good, mstay safe people:fingerscrossed:
