I hope all the members and their families who live in the Southern Alberta area are safe and sound after this weekends flooding.
To those that don't know what I'm talking about, southern Alberta experienced the worst flooding ever in the history of the province.
100,000+ people required to evacuate, 20+ towns declared state of emergencies, most of downtown Calgary (pop: 1.1 million) completely flooded with depths up to 8-10 feet. Entire towns have been forever changed by the amount of water that came through. Trickling creeks turned into ranging rivers exceeding the width and depth of our largest area rivers.
Red Cross and other charities are in full force to help those in need.
