2013 Calgary and Surrounding Areas Flooded. Devastating Photos..

Parts of Calgary and surrounding areas are under water.  This is the worst flooding our Province has seen.  As pictures get posted to Facebook and on the Internet, it's truly unbelievable the destruction and devastation so many people and all of us as a City are facing.  It's heartbreaking to think of all the clean-up and rebuilding that will be needed in the days, months and possibly years to come.

My family and I are safely perched on one of the highest grounds in Calgary so it seems almost unreal from where we sit.  Pictures are the only thing that keeps us grounded in reality of what is really happening out there.

I leave you with an accumulation of photos that have been shared via the Internet over the last 24 hours.  Please send your prayers our way and to all the people that have been displaced...

  2. Praying for your community! The zoo made me so sad - were the animals okay, stuck in their cages? :(
