Floodwaters Still Rising in Alberta

Alberta’s sunshine came too late for some—torrential weekend rains dumped over 100mm in spots, leaving Edmonton and surrounding areas knee-deep in floodwaters. The North Saskatchewan River swells, eroding banks and swallowing park signs, while emergency crews rescued a man from the river after he slipped off a trail. South Edmonton’s Whitemud Drive saw landslides blocking traffic near the 122 Street overpass, and Tofield remains under local emergency as businesses flood and residents face water restrictions. Officials warned of strained water systems, though the alert has been lifted—cleanup is still a race against rising waters, reminding us how fast weather can turn our streets into rivers.
