Hello Great Ones,
After an 18 hour ordeal I ended up in Calgary and was picked up at midnight by Helga and Alfred. I was expecting a disaster area. However, much to my surprise Calgary looked fine, which is a great testimony of how great Calgarians can be. Thousands had volunteered their time to the clean up. Church communities were committing to help in the recovery long term with practical help and finances. Yet there were still some signs that there had indeed been a massive flood. And the news is that it will take years and plenty of money to recover fully. Your help and prayers for Calgary are greatly appreciated.

Wrecked washing machines off to the dump.
Signs of destruction.
