Violent, Costly Flood Inundates Alberta, Canada

摘要

Premier Alison Redford says it will take Alberta, Canada, a decade and $5 billion to recover and rebuild from a once-in-a-century flood that tore through the southern portion of the province on June 20. Damage was extensive in Calgary, where a state of emergency extended into July as floodwaters receded. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses remained without power and roads and bridges were closed as engineers and inspection staff worked 24/7 to assess the damage and begin recovery and cleanup.
