Floods and fires ravage Canada

[pscot]

In Manitoba, Canada, heavy spring snow melt in combination with heavy rains have combined to create record flooding on the Assiniboine River. Authorities intentionally breached a levee over the weekend to save hundreds of homes, but inundated huge areas of farmland as a result. The flood is being called a 300-year flood, and damages are already in excess of $1 billion. In Alberta, Canada, reverse extreme is causing havoc: severe drought and strong spring winds have made ideal conditions for wildfires, which swept into the community of Slave Lake (population 6,700) yesterday. The fires destroyed hundreds of buildings, burning down the town hall and at least 30% of the town, according to preliminary media reports

1. Doomsday headline

Can you pick your headlines a little more accurately/a little less doomsday-ish. Manitoba is but one province in this large country called Canada. Sure the floods and fires going on there are serious but "Canada" is not being ravaged.

It's a little overcast here and rainy, today, here in Canada's densest population area.
I'm not wet nor on fire.

Too much foxnews?
