    Its all good, insurance will pay out for your house washing away (assuming you have act of God coverage) and the people will build close to the river again - and repeat the cycle every 30 years.

    Everything near the river in High River is being evacuated. Buddy had to drive through a foot of water in his parking lot to leave. Some cars couldn't make it out.

    Apparently there was a sour gas leak in Turner Valley as well.
