Good news from you, Mike, but a terrible disaster for many others. In spite of repeated and regular reminders, an obvious truth is still largely ignored:
'Flood plains' are called that for a good reason.

Folk like to build houses and open up camp sites on them here!

Good Morning Everyone.....

Just off this morning to help out with the clean up......

Here are a couple of posts that I have made elseware......



The tide has turned and the cleanup has started.....

The thing that gets me disappointed though is that one of the best antiquarian book stores and the only two military collectors stores are in the middle of the flood plain......

The book store was also located in a basement and I was in there a couple of weeks ago and he had just purchases a complete 1st edition of the voyages of Capt. Cook and also had though of no real interest to me a complete set of the Nuremburg Trials transcripts and copies of all the evidence, literally boxes of items.....

On the evening news the Emergency Response Office has reported that in a city of over 1 million people there have only been 13 reported cases of looting and most of them in one neighbourhood and caused by 3 Teenagers who were caught in the act.....

Also there were only 4 fatal casualties, 3 of them from people who refused to evacuate when told it was tooooo dangerous to stay and the forth was a person trying to rescue one of the people who refused to leave.....

The effects of the flood must be heart-breaking for many people. It may take many years and a great deal of money to repair the damage, but one positive aspect is that you live in a civilised country, which is populated largely by people who can and will face up to adversity. Just like Canterbury in New Zealand, Calgary will be restored.
