Day 169 -- flooding from the sky

The rain began this afternoon and it was monsoon-like!  While we may be getting more precipitation than expected, it is nothing compared to the deluges seen in southern Alberta this week. The flooding is heartbreaking. Water is relentless and destructive.

I've experienced material losses from a basement filled with water (like 5.5 feet deep) and smaller backups of 2-4 inches. The wickability of water creates structural damage and soaks into boxes and furnishings. Deeper water becomes a total write-off and many items are irreplaceable.  I feel for people every time I see stories on the news.

On an up note, a well-known singer, songwriter, musician and advocate celebrates a birthday today. The selection today is one from several years back that has an entertaining video. Enjoy!
