We went downtown on the day before


Flood: 2013 Community: Fish Creek

We went downtown on the day before the flood started and looked at the river, which was really swollen. There were a ton of people walking around on the banks of the river and throwing stuff in, and I thought that they were all being stupid and should get away before they fell in. The next day my parents told me I could sleep in because school was cancelled, but school was never cancelled so I went on the internet to find out why and the news of the flood was all over. There was live coverage and I watched the pictures of all the houses that were underwater. Our house was on a hill so we weren't in any danger. My parents went out to help people evacuate from their homes. We went to look at Fish Creek Park and it was like a lake.
