Flooding in Alberta---what the CHC HUMMER guys are up to....

[twinmill28]

I originally posted this on another thread, I decided it need it's own thread.....

I checked over on CHC to see how our buddies up north are doing---looks like many areas around Calgary are f%(ked, with High River being a total write-off--the entire town of 13,000 is under water. We've driven all over these areas as that's where my wife grew up.
Sugarphreak lives in Calgary with his 3T (and wife) and is trying to help his neighbors keep their basements from flooding, his last post says he's had his generator running 23 hours to keep the sump pumps going.
Also looks like one of the H2 guys has been out delivering some supplies and food to the road crews and other folks as they deal with this--good on them.
Man, that place is a mess, please keep all of our Canadian friends in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with this. Fortunately my in-laws are in an area that hasn't been affected and they don't have to go out and deal with the craziness.

We found a video posted on You-Tube that looks like one of the H1 owners will have to dry his truck out some. You may want to turn the volume off as the dumb broad talking calls it a Jeep and makes some other profound statements.

Twin, that video is from six years ago, though I hear it's like that now too.

Ooops, well, we can enjoy it none-the-less. Guess I need to quit looking at stuff my wife is showing me on her phone, or pay more attention to when it was posted.
Thanks!

So I just made it home from Calgary, my brothers place is fine, we had the sump pump and a secondary pump running and it was enough to keep his basement dry.

As I left you could notice that the rivers are down, but still substantially above what they are normally!


If you look at the photo the river is usually only as wide as the furthest bank to the group of trees half flooded in the center of the river... Under all that water used to be a parking lot and walking paths
