Cleanup day after Pincher Creek flood near Audrey Westrop farm
In Pincher Creek Alberta the Westrops' farm faced four feet of floodwater sweeping into corrals and barns. Gates were knocked down and bulls waded through muck to reach heifers while a cow swam to rejoin the herd. Reeve Ted Smith and Premier Ralph Klein toured damage as authorities warn funding may cover essential uninsurable losses. The state of emergency remains for about a week with full damage estimates due in three weeks.
