Ha, thats what you think! Calgary's terrible clay soil makes it so pretty much any house will flood.
Case in point: My old house was on the very top of a hill, that was on the top of the West hill, and even then, a whole bunch of houses flooded on our block back in 2005.
Heck, Woodbine is basically at sea level compared to that place.
