Record Soaking

Well, the month of June is finished and a record was set. June 2005 has been the wettest month ever in Calgary, Alberta. A total of 246mm fell during those 30 days. Surpassing a previous record of 245.4mm way back in July 1927. There has been destruction all over the low lying areas in Southern Alberta. Some rivers have even created new flow paths, destroying their old banks. The Alberta Government has pledged $55 million in flood relief, but I'm sure that price will go higher once all the damage claims are tallied. I believe the high flowing rivers have already accounted for 1 death and there are some missing persons still not accounted for.
