Glad you are ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962901 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:05:45 +0000 Gaylene 962901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to spare a thought for the smaller city of Medicine Hat which is currently bearing the brunt of all that water which did so much damage to Calgary and Canmore. The streams that go through these cities join with another major water shed which also has been flooding the south part of the province. The two systems combine just outside of Medicine Hat.</p> <p>I'm currently with family in Medicine Hat. The river is <b>20 times</b> its normal size and 1/6 of the population has been evacuated from their homes. Fortunately, my family is not among that group but the situation is definitely dire for many. The river is not expected to go down for a day or so, so everyone is praying that the berms and sandbagging will hold to prevent wholesale flooding, and loss, of infrastructure such as bridges, power, and water. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962860 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 18:57:36 +0000 Angie 962860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awful. My heart goes out to those poor people. Glad to hear that things are somewhat under control. Natural disasters are so cruel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962811 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 16:12:19 +0000 kkards 962811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so sorry about what is happening. &nbsp;stay safe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962613 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 07:18:50 +0000 Ornella 962613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!

I mentioned it to the clerk at the till and she rolled her eyes at what had been happening over the last two days--fist-fights over bottled water, loaded shopping carts, and that run on bananas. Who knew that bananas had magical properties when it came to floods?</p> <p>That said, it is really sobering to be reminded of quickly our lives can change because of these natural disasters. I'm one of the lucky ones who just has to put up with a few minor inconveniences, but I have several friends who are going to return to damaged, flooded homes. It will take weeks, months, and even years for some people to get back on their feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962435 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 23:16:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 962435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are okay. <br />Sorry about your friend lyn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962428 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 23:05:55 +0000 Thistle 962428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are safe.

My husband left on Friday for a camping trip to Banff with his friends but he is stuck now in the city. Fortunately, he is staying with his friend and it is safe in their area. I hope the water recedes soon and people can return safely to their homes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962405 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 22:02:05 +0000 Suz 962405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to know you are okay, Rosee. I have been watching closely and in communication with my friends there. Some have been evacuated, some were away and can't return to their homes yet, and some have been very lucky.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floods-not-the-pants#post-962398 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 21:40:15 +0000 rosee 962398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hometown:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://o.canada.com/2013/06/22/calgary-floods-before-and-after-photos/">http://o.canada.com/2013/06/22.....er-photos/</a></p> <p>about 80,000 people evacuated from their homes, but people are generally calm and in reasonably good spirits. &nbsp;Lots of co-operative efforts to help others out. &nbsp;</p> <p>This was due to record flooding never seen before in this region. &nbsp;Extensive rain (we're usually quite dry) in the past 2 weeks plus melted snow and ice from the mountains upstream added up quickly. &nbsp;We were prepared for a flood but not expecting one of this magnitude. &nbsp;All of downtown and some inner city neighborhoods (where much of the good shopping is) are underwater. &nbsp;Most of the major roadways are impassible due to the overflow of the 2 rivers that cross town. &nbsp;We are told to stay in our homes unless evacuated, to keep the streets clear for emergency and rescue&nbsp;vehicles only.</p> <p>Soon as it dries up the extensive clean-up begins...</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
