Close call there but they made it.

My thoughts are with everyone in Calgary as they cope with this terrible flooding.

Awwww!!!  

Its very sad when these floods and things happen!!  I heard a little on Facebook today. 

Tornadoes, floods, and wildfires-- so much human (and animal) suffering going on. A heartbreaking story from CNN about a woman whose home was lost in Katrina. She re-located to just outside Colorado Springs, and had her home devoured in the Black Canyon wildfire. Really sad beyond words.

We have severe flooding in Alberta, l hope everyone on this forum in the flood area is okay 

l love stories like this that come out of these sad events. l saw a picture of this guy yesterday, trapped in his truck and holding his cat. This morning l saw this update:

How scary! Very nice story though.

Those poor people. It really looks bad: 3 dead, downtown Calgary off-limits, more flooding possible in western Canada

Lots of that the flooding subsides soon!

We saw some shocking pictures of the damage in nearby Canmore on the Weather Network this morning. It's hard to believe how powerful the water can be, and these aren't places you expect to get flooding. My friend's brother lives in Calgary and he said it was calm there this morning and people are starting to deal with the cleanup. Hopefully no more lives lost, but I know there were some people missing.

It seems to be never ending with all the flooding lately!

It's really crazy all over. What's going on in India is unbelievable. It's monsoon season, but the amount of flooding and the number of lives lost there just boggle the mind.

Wow, that's shocking! I'm sad to admit that that's the first I've heard of these floods. Calgary has been dominating the news here. It's weird that the flooding hit in such a mountainous area. You expect it on the floodplains and close to sea level, but up in the mountains like that you'd think they'd be pretty safe from massive floods like that.

Here is a picture of the 2 of them yesterday
