On the morning of Thursday, June 20, 2013, my wife and I were evacuated from our home due to the imminent danger posed by Cougar Creek in Canmore, Alberta. The world knows the story of the resulting floods that have affected so many in southern Alberta. But there are many individual tales to be told, and I would like to share ours. If anyone else who has been affected by these floods would like to share their story here, I would be honoured to post it for you.
