Hey everyone.
Not sure if you guys have heard on your news or not, but alberta is facing some major major floods. A city in the kananaskis mountains, canmore, is completely flooded out. Million dollar homes are being swept away, bit by bit, by a raging river.
Cougar creek before was just a trickling stream, here it now: (you can see the houses dangling)
High River (hur hur, high river), a town of 13,000 is completely evacuated. My dads house is flooded out unfortunately. They got the worst of it, the army was called in to help. Here's a pic of downtown:
The front of my dads house as it was creeping up:
Man swims after his kitty:
Calgary has a total of 100,000 evacuated from their houses. My area, even though we're very close, is the one of the few left because we're luckily on a hill.
This is a bridge going into downtown Calgary
My roommate and I headed down to go have a look-see before the river had swallowed most of the pathways. We were walking through the banks and it started out ankle deep and just in 15 minutes it was up to our knees. Time to go!
This is the Calgary zoo. A lot of the big cats are being held in the calgary court houses in jail cells.
Our dam overflowing:
We've never experienced flooding like this. Lucky enough to not have any injuries or deaths so far! But a lot of damage to property, roads are dug up and flooded all over the city. High River and Canmore were also completely flooded, HR was flooded out within 1hr, it was a flash flood. We continue to have a lot of rain.. Send your vibes out for people who are homeless right now! We haven't had relief yet.
