Up to 100,000 to flee flooding in Canada
As many as 100,000 people could be forced from their homes by heavy flooding in western Canada, Calgary city officials said, while mudslides forced the closure of the Trans-Canada Highway around the mountain resort towns of Banff and Canmore.
Torrential rains and widespread flooding throughout southern Alberta have washed out roads and bridges, left at least one person missing and caused cars, sofas and fridges to float away. Communities just south of Calgary were hit hardest.
