It was close though.

I actually discovered the breach that volunteers battled for 24 hours, before retreating, evacuating and then returning to successfully reinforce.

If that breach at the rivers corner had broken (like the fire department believed it would), the whole town of 300 houses would have been swept away in a torrent. Exactly like the house from Bragg on the news.

So yeah, whatever solution will mitigate the risk of this drama in Bragg Creek and Redwood (and by extension Springbank and Calgary) is a good investment in my book.
