Calgary Rain vs 2013 Flood
from Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Calgary’s soaked in record rain—some spots hit 75 to 100 mm in just three days—but don’t panic: this storm’s breaking up, skies will clear soon. While scattered showers linger through Thursday and the weekend, they won’t match the deluge. Though the combo of stalled low pressure and melting mountain snow echoes the catastrophic 2013 flood—when 300+ mm dumped, displacing 110K people and costing $5B—officials confirm this isn’t close to that scale. Rivers are rising, but nowhere near 2013 levels. City crews are already tackling street pooling, but no evacuations or major closures expected. Thanks to billions invested since 2013—better dams, drainage, forecasting—Calgary’s far more resilient. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
