What a wild week. Wonderful Calgary has been crazzzzy with water..flooding....and so much more. Fortunately for this tourist it has all been at a distance...although I have been caught in lots of the rain. The whole city has been in a state of emergency...many areas worse than others. The Bow and Elbow rivers have reeked havoc...and many have suffered great loss because of it.
We're living north of the Bow, and on substantial high ground. The rain really started back on the weekend, and every day had some rainfall...but it got worse by Wednesday, and Thursday. I have been diligently trying to walk more since coming west....and in this course of this week I have invested in a rain poncho, and umbrella. Hopefully hip rubber boots will not happen. As I mentioned we're in the north of Calgary, and some days it is hard to believe that this whole flood thing has happened so close by. I posted photos from our river walk on Wednesday.....here are some updated water shots.
