The trancanada #1 hiway heading west at canmore is pretty much gone. Any of you guys watch the news, lots of city by the bow river has been flooded.
I had my basement flooded from the last rain dump we had about a month ago. I went out and bought two new 3/4HP sump pumps[coffee][laugh] This time, no basement flooding.[coffee] Best of luck everyone.[coffee] |
Tough times ahead this will take months if not longer.
it will be tough to get the essential services back up in the core |

Sundre is more than wet but it looks like the river has dropped slightly but there is a lot more rain on the horizon, it's not over yet.

Good to hear Homestead
I have had 40 plus mils of rain in the last 3 hours hope you are good probably cant do much for you, but if you need any help I sure will try . I will pm my Cell to you And as I type Huge rain inbound |
Hope the resources go where they are truly needed right now, not the Stampede. Lots of people will be in need of real help in the next few weeks.
My thoughts go out to those affected, especially people who lost a loved one. |
