A few days into the flooding I went over to the Bowmont Cliff to see the river.
A large crowd was gathered and we could see the inundation past Bow Crescent into the neighbourhood of Bowness. The river had carved away most of the yards at that point of the river and the river was running through the yellow bungalow that was there. My husband joined a bus team, and helped a family in High River. The wife had just been evacuated to have her baby, so the husband was in good spirits saying he'd "meant to clean out the basement anyway", but there was mud a foot deep.
