| March 2008 | Flash Flood | Calgary | 1 killed, $3,000,000 | Widespread flooding reported across the northern portion of the county. Flooding was severe on County Road 21 in town and at the circle and along County Road 103. Homes were also flooded around the city. Three foot of water was also reported over Highway 3079. Evacuations had to be made by boat from homes in the northern part of the county. Several roads were washed out and or closed. Over 30 homes in the county were completely flooded along with several businesses. Water was as high as five feet in some homes. One fatality was reported when two people were driving east on State Highway 21 and ran into a ditch and became caught in swift-moving water. One man was rescued in time but the other occupant was swept away in the vehicle. Flooding was so bad near San Augustine that one business was completely knocked from its foundation and carried across a street by the current, drifting into a grocery store's gas pumps. |
