Major Flooding In Calgary, Alberta Canada

Last year, in the Northland, Minot, North Dakota was flooded out.
this year, it is Alberta's turn, especially Calgary.
From the Calgary Sun: To put in perspective just how perilous it is around the Scotiabank Saddledome, the only way Ken King was able to get near it Saturday was with the help of a John Deere tractor that picked him up in nearby Ramsay.
That said, the Flames president is convinced hockey will be played in it this fall.
“We’re going to be ready for the opening of the season,” declared King at a hastily called press conference held shortly after the Flames president and building operations VP Libby Raines toured the flooded rink.
“We have the biggest water pumps in North America on standby but they can only be put in place once the river subsides.”
Shortly before providing disturbing pictures and video of the carnage to the media King gave a frank assessment of what he saw.
“It’s a mess,” said King.
“The tales of it being up to row eight or nine are absolutely true. To put that into perspective that means if you were a hockey player walking out of the tunnel onto the ice you would be underwater yourself. It’s is a total loss on the event level. To the extent it is greater than that we do not know.”
The Zambonis, the video control room, archived footage of the team, most memorabilia, the dressing rooms, kitchens and the media lounge are all destroyed.
King would not venture a guess as to how many millions of dollars in damages there were, nor would he speculate on when the building could start to be cleared or eventually be open for business again.  http://www.calgarysun.com/2013/06/22/calgary-flames-president-ken-king-confident-there-will-be-hockey-at-the-saddledome-next-season-despite-massive-damage-done-by-flooding
The whole downtown area of Calgary is underwater and it will be a long time before things become normal again.
Lesson learned: Don't mess with Mother Nature- she is very powerful.
