We have taken in our friends because the flooding is SO bad in Calgary but we're all doing ok!
Jeff is still out at the emergency station for Bragg Creek and Springbank communities. He has been there since 6am and it's 3pm now! He called once to tell me he forgot his cell phone charger and his phone was dying... really?? really???? Yes really!
The traffic is horrendous because of road closures and people evacuating.
The pictures are unbelievable and surreal. 3.5meters of water in most areas and many places including the saddledome (up to row 10) are under water. We can't believe some of the footage- massive trees being bent, twisted and swept away on the edge of memorial drive. There's no end to the insane footage on twitter! (YYCflood)
In the end, we're all hunkering down as we continue to get pounded by torrential downpours!
There are 5 kids at our place and 5 adults ( 6 including Jeff) and we are planning on a wine/beer and dinner feast tonight.
Our thoughts go out to everyone affected we are so grateful to be dry and safe!
Love to our family and friends!
