The city of over a million is taking a serious hit from mother nature. Shall be interesting to see if this years CALGARY STAMPEDE is lost with over 5 inches of rain in the mountains to the west in the past 3 days causing massive flooding

This is horrible. And so widespread! The whole city is underwater. luckily (somewhat) the water isn't expected to get very deep. Unluckily (definitely) the water is very dirty. It's like a giant mud puddle.

The arena where the Calgary Flames play (Saddledome) has water up to row 10 of the seats. One report has the control for the jumbotron under water although you would think that would be up much higher in the arena.
Be careful when you follow the masses, the M is sometimes silent.

Wow, nasty flooding....did I see Al Gore in a rubber raft with a megaphone talking about climate change to anybody that would listen? Mother nature is in charge.
