Mother Nature's Fury

Water is standing in my yard once again and the sump pump has kicked in a couple of times but I will not complain today.  After seeing the devastating flood waters through southern Alberta, the puddles are not even a drop in the bucket compared to what is going on there.

Videos of the Canmore and Bragg Creek flooding on You Tube show homes being swept away in the water and others hanging on the edge of creek banks.  How helpless the homeowners must feel as they watch their possessions being washed away.  

The biggest problem I have is the water overflowing in my rain gutters because the willow tree fluff has clogged the downspout. 

News reports are saying that the creeks/rivers won't peak until around midnight. I'm hoping that in the meanwhile, residents are able to take shelter and stay safe while Mother Nature shows her fury.
