OUT OF TERRIBLE FLOODING DISASTER IN THE CITY OF CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, WHICH IS NOW ESTIMATED TO BE ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 5 BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGE, HAS COME AN OUTPOURING OF PEOPLE SERVING AND HELPING THOSE IN NEED, SOME WITH PLACES TO STAY, OTHERS HELPING CLEAN UP THEIR HOMES AND LAND.
MANY, STILL CANNOT GO HOME, HENCE MEALS AND FOOD PROVIDED BY MANY WHO JUST SIMPLY GOT TOGETHER TO MAKE MEALS AND SANDWICHES ETC.
FRIENDS AND STRANGERS ALL JUST DIVING IN TO GIVE A HELPING HAND WHERE IT WAS NEEDED.
THE DOWN-TOWN CITY IS STILL CLOSED TO WORKERS WHO WORK IN OFFICES AND BUSINESSES DOWN TOWN, AS OF MONDAY; MAY BE WEDNESDAY BEFORE PEOPLE CAN "GO BACK TO WORK." SO MANY OF THEM ARE OUT SERVING AND HELPING OTHERS IN NEED.
THE CALGARY STAMPEDE; THE MOST FAMOUS RODEO ON EARTH, LARGEST PRIZE MONEY, AND BILLED AS THE GREATEST OUTDOOR SHOW ON EARTH - THE OFFICIALS SAY THE SHOW WILL GO ON. THEY ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO CLEAN UP AND GET IT ALL READY TO OPEN JULY 5TH.
THE PART OF CALGARY WHERE I LIVE - BOWNESS - WAS HIT HARD BY THE FLOODING, PART OF IT WAS HIT HARD, THE OVERFLOWING OF THE ELBOW RIVER. I BELIEVE WHEN I DECIDED TO MOVE TO BOWNESS 12 YEARS AGO FROM SOUTH-EAST CALGARY, THE LORD LED ME TO THE LOWER HOUSE APARTMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF BOWNESS, ABOVE THE BOW RIVER. THAT RIVER MIGHTILY OVERFLOWED ALSO, BUT WHERE I AM IS UP ABOVE THE RIVER MAYBE 150 FEET, WELL ABOVE ANY FLOODING AREA.
THE TOWN NEAR WHERE I BOARD MY HORSE GOLDIE WAS ALSO FLOODED VERY BADLY FROM THE ELBOW RIVER. BUT THE "MOOSE HILL RANCH" [WHERE MY HORSE IS] ESCAPED ANY MAJOR FLOODING. I HAVE NOT BE ABLE YET TO VISIT, BUT HOPE TO DO SO IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
THE TOWN OF "HIGH RIVER" [25 MILES SOUTH OF CALGARY] IS STILL A "NO ZONE" FOR ANYONE BUT THE POLICE AND CANADIAN ARMY......IT HAS NOW BEEN SEEN TO BE A HUGE MISTAKE TO EVER BUILD A TOWN ON THAT LAND, AS IT WAS KNOWN AS A "FLOOD PLAIN" LAND, BUT NO DEVASTATION HAD HAPPENED FOR OVER 100 YEARS. THE FLOOD CAME SO QUICKLY THE PEOPLE COULD ONLY EVACUATE WITH THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACK.
SOME AREAS OF CALGARY THAT HAD TO BE EVACUATED HAVE NOW BEEN DECLARED SAFE FOR THE RESIDENTS TO RETURN. SLOWLY THE POWER TO THE CITY CENTER IS GETTING BACK ON LINE AGAIN.
BOWNESS PARK [THE BEST AND MOST FAMOUS PARK OF CALGARY] JUST BELOW WHERE I AM, WAS BADLY FLOODED IN THE FLOODS OF 2005, HENCE THE CITY DID SOME LARGE REMODELING AND STRENGTHENING AND PLACING HUGE STONES ALONG THE RIVER BANK, WHERE THE BOW RIVER PASSES THE PARK. IT WAS ONLY FLOODED IN 2005 SAY ABOUT 50 YARDS INTO THE PARK, THIS TIME AROUND THE WHOLE PARK WAS UNDER 10 FEET OF WATER. THE WATER HAS GONE DOWN TO BASICALLY A FOOT OR SO BELOW THE LARGE STONES, AND THE PARK IS AGAIN VISIBLE, HOLDING IN TACK VERY WELL, BUT FOR TREE BRANCHES AND SOME OTHER RUBBISH BROUGHT DOWN BY THE FAST FLOWING RIVER. THE PATHWAYS, NEW PARKING LOTS STOOD UP VERY WELL, I AM SOMEWHAT SURPRISED TO SEE.
I'M SURE THIS TIME AROUND THE CITY OF CALGARY WILL PLAN ON REBUILDING THINGS [THEY ARE SAYING A TEN YEAR PROJECT] IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL PREVENT THIS KIND OF FLOOD DISASTER HAPPEN AGAIN. AND THE "EXPERTS" ARE SAYING "LOOK OUT, WE ARE IN FOR MANY MORE WILD AND CRAZY WEATHER PATTERNS IN THE FUTURE, AS THE PLANET CONTINUES TO WARM UP."
TODAY THE CANADIAN NEWS SAID IT WAS IN THE 30s C OR 90 F IN THE "NORTH WEST TERRITORIES" - AGAIN UNHEARD OF AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.....BUT THE NORTH POLE IS MELTING.
WHAT TIMES WE ARE LIVING IN, AND BIBLE PROPHECY HAS A WAY TO GO YET, BEFORE LEADING TO THE GREATEST TRIBULATION ON EARTH, THAT HAS EVER BEEN SEEN, OR WILL EVER BE SEEN AGAIN.
BIBLE PROPHECY IS COVERED IN DEPTH ON MY WEBSITE.
