Can they predict this stuff or is it just something that happens ( kind of like Tornados)... ya know hey it's been raining a lot it might happen so be prepared or can they say it will be heavy flooding during these 2 weeks, pack up and get out?

The problem was caused by a massive storm that dumped nearly 2 inches of rain in Calgary, and up to 7 inches up stream all in one day. Just a stupidly large amount of a water in such a short amount of time basically screwed everyone. There was no time to prepare, as it wasn't even on the radar in the morning yesterday. Not much you can do when you get nearly a year's worth of precipitation in 24 hrs.
