Our friends Pat and Harold were severely effected by the recent flooding. Only yesterday (Canada Day ) were they allowed to enter and witness damage. There are four levels: green-no damage, yellow: minor flooding but power panel not damaged, orange: major flooding with no power and basement demolition required and red: total demolition. They are in the orange category, living only four blocks from the Highwood River. We had to , amidst inches of sludge, haul out ruined furniture, appliances, precious photo albums, sports gear, clothes, soggy carpet and underlay and ALL the other items one would store in a basement.I looked like a mud wressler! Ten of us worked all day and the nearby Hutterites provided sandwiches and water: an example of how people come together in times of need.
