Time to head for home

Time to head for home
We have been having a lot more rain the last few days - the very last thing that was needed by the thousands of people who have been affected by the Flood of the Century that has been going on in Calgary and across southern Alberta, for just over two weeks now. One part of the city got flash floods a few evenings ago, but I'm really hoping that other areas have not been hit yet again by the rain this past week. Yesterday, I saw that the city of Toronto was flooded, too, not as seriously as Calgary, but still bad enough. Hopefully, this will be the end of it! Took this quick photo on 6 July 2013, when I was driving the backroads SW of Calgary, after spending the morning recording all the flora and fauna at the Leighton Art Centre. Sure enough, it was raining by the time I reached home.

Awesome shot and it certainly looks ominous ... we have surpassed the record rainfall of the 1954 rainfall of Hurricane Hazel ... never before have parts of Toronto been flooded in this manner ... as in many cities, our infrastructure is crumbling ... I just hope those F35 Fighter Jets we purchased and come and help our cities improve this over the years ... or we will see this occur many times again as the weather patterns change ... Good luck to the folks in Calgary!!
