Some areas were high enough to stay mostly dry. I think the industrial area near Highway 2 was part of it.
My company has been organizing volunteer busses to head down and help. Went yesterday. It's pretty amazing to see how the region has pulled together. We tore soaked drywall and insulation out of the basements of an townhouse-apartment and shoveled an inch+ of mud off much of the external areas of the complex. 15 people, one day, barely half a block. It is a lot of work.
Once we finished at that place, we literally just walked down the street looking for others in need of assistance. Only in Alberta will you find disaster areas inundated with roving gangs of volunteers...
