As some of you know, Southern Alberta, Most Notably Calgary and High River have experienced catastrophic flooding. (It's really a mess!!!)The entire downtown of Calgary and large parts of High River were under water. Today, many people have lost their homes and their property. Peter Garry from Wetaskewin, went to High river this weekend to Volunteer time to help clean up the Mess for whomever he could. (Many Koodos to him!!!)
He was in a temporary High River police compound where “drowned” vehicles have been towed and waiting to be claimed. He found this GMC that had been in water higher than the Belt Line for the last couple of weeks and filled with Mud. (2 Pictures) He was not able to get TZE number Does anyone know who it belongs to. I suspect that their home and other property has also been lost.

I was able to find it in Kim Weeks Pictures at the Dothan Rally as seen here.

that makes me sick to my stomach. watched that coach being built for a long time on the Pose. Even got to see it down there when I visited once.
Hoping the best for people in that flood.

Oh wow. What a tragedy! That was a magnificent coach! At least the exterior is savable and the interior can be redone. I hope he had good insurance.
Such a sad thing for Mark and family. Great folks!

We saw it at Dothan and got the guided tour from owner and familly.
I'd bet there was at least USD 250,000 in it!
What a shame!

I imagine both the owner and JimB must be sick over this news! I hope the owner had it properly insured.
More importantly, I hope the affected folks are safe. Vehicles can be replaced easier than people!
