We didn't get the worst of it. Some of the smaller towns are literally destroyed completely. But all of Downtown was flooded 1 meter (3 feet) deep, shut down and without power for 3 days, 100,000 were evacuated (10% of the city), several bridges are still too damaged to use. Thankfully only 5-10 missing/dead at the end of all it though. However, the Calgary Stampede is still going on next week, even though the water on the grounds was 3-4 meters deep at the worst. But its all cleaned out now. (This year's motto is "Hell or High Water"...never say we don't have spirit) (for those who watch hockey, the first 18 rows of the stadium here were filled with water) |

We had our honeymoon in Banff about 10 years ago now and the town where the B&B we stayed in looked like it was cut off from the main highway there.

Were you staying in Canmore? (highway was cut off on all three sides for 5+ days, and most houses near the river are now unsafe. Yes..the yellow thing is a backhoe. Or Kananaskis? Pretty much every bridge within 50 miles of there is destroyed. |
