Dear Chris et al,
Thank you for thinking of me, I appreciate it.
Yes, I am fine; Calgary's flooding is mostly on the eastern side and some on the south too; I am on the western area...
The sun came out this morning for the first time in 5 days and around where I am, you wouldn't know anything has happened.
But, downtown and points east are closed until at least Thursday now...
High River Town, south of here and Canmore in the Rockies are devastated though and everyone has been evacuated.
Take care,
Larry

Re: 'Round the World Weather Report
Hi,
The army arrived last night and this morning - we have tanks going down the streets now and they don't stop for traffic or pedestrians....
I went for brunch with friends and we had to dodge across streets as they don't obey stop lights - even though we had the "Walk" light.
Oh well, we didn't become road kill - so all's right with the world.
The downtown is being cleared and cleaned but still closed till Thursday.
Stampede Park and the Saddledome are still underwater and the Calgary Stampede starts in 2 weeks!!!! Ha, ha - we'll see....
And, because this is a movie board, I will tell you that at brunch I kidded that I expected Esther Williams to swim by as we're all "Underwater"; which then reminder me: "Oh, and Jane Russell too!" Nobody got it - what a dull bunch....

Re: 'Round the World Weather Report
Today, and the next 4-5 days
In my own hometown we are having better than above average temperatures and a rare 4th of July of which we aren't going to have rain at all. Our average temperatures will be mid-to-upper 80's and occasionally low 90's as well. So, I'm planning on keeping cool and drink plenty of fluids.

Sun 30th
A typical winter`s day in paradise. Overnight the temperature dropped to 16 degrees (60.8F) with a sunny day to come and an expected top of 26 degrees (78.8F).

Re: 'Round the World Weather Report
Here in western Kentucky, it's rained nine out of the last ten weekends. I don't mind a little rain. But every weekend?
Re: 'Round the World Weather Report
Highs in the MID 70's all week long coming up! Glorious weather!!!

LATE LAST NIGHT
From quarter to 1am to 3am in the morning - I was treated with a spectacular lighting storm a week ago and today.

Re: 'Round the World Weather Report
In my hometown we had a brief rainstorm that literally dumped half of inch of rain in 1 hour - it was a downpour of downpour - and we are still having thunder and lightening and - its been one crazy Summer so far. I don't recall a year like this one!
Re: 'Round the World Weather Report
The forecast in Kentucky is HOT! I'm feeling self conscious that I might not smell so good. From sweating so much. Well, you know what? Get over it. Once in a while, people stink!
