I live in Medicine Hat, and the water is coming towards us now, and it is likely we will lose water and power. I have stocked up on all emergency supplies, and I am waiting t get called into work, I am scheduled to work at the hospital saturday/sunday anyways, but I think I might be asked to work extra hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-city-is-drowning#post-875259 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 18:24:44 +0000 kentuckygirl 875259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you in Calgary?
