Epic Flooding in Calgary, By the Numbers
The Canadian city is only beginning to recover from historic floods.
Officials and residents are beginning to clean up Calgary, where the worst flooding in Alberta's history forced 75,000 people from their homes on Friday.
A torrent of water from the Bow and Elbow Rivers, which nearly overran the city's bridges, receded slowly over the weekend, leaving streets full of silt, waterlogged cars, and whole neighborhoods without electricity or working sewers. For most residents, the mandatory evacuation order was lifted on Sunday.
