Evacuations Ordered In Medicine Hat, Alberta
MEDICINE HAT, Alberta, June 23 (UPI) -- As floodwaters that killed three people slow in parts of Alberta, officials ordered evacuations in Medicine Hat in anticipation of its river bursting its banks. Some 10,000 people in the 62,000-person community were told to leave their homes, bridges and roads were closed and gas was turned off in homes and businesses Sunday, CNN reported. The South Saskatchewan River is expected to burst its banks early Monday morning, and could reach its highest-ever level in history, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Sunday.
