Floods happen. Here in Tofino, I live with the reality that a tsunami or earthquake could have a devastating effect on my town. Sometimes, when disasters are covered, News broadcasters will share only the most traumatized faces, the most heart-wrenching stories.
But in every disaster, there is a community. And frequently, there is a sense of pride and self reliance – and with every citizen owning a camera phone, the real story is told by the people who live it.
Bravery, calm, stoicism and gratitude. That’s what I see in these photos from the past 48 hours of flooding in Alberta. I’d like to share:

Awe, hell yeah!! It is so scary and but look at them all!!They are all helping each other. My Aunt who was 80 in the Long Island hurrucane went thru a crisis not as badly as this. It gives me chills and heart felt feelings so strongly to see these pictures. I am so lucky we have not had anything yet like this. Many blessings to all of them!! Sincerely, Jan xoxo
