rain has stopped for now , water is receeding , no one got hurt . official grand total in arborfield since Wednesday was 11 inches. no insurance on any of this " overland flooding ". funny how ins co's can still get away with this . hopefully Feds and prov. govt haven't given all the money away already ! still amazed at how much work these young kids did ! also hundreds of people from surrounding towns just seem to show up when you need them . great thing about Sask !!
one other thing I had never saw before was a bladder . this thing is like a rubber grain bag and you simply pump it full of water . this one went across the road between the town dikes , about 60' long and took the place of thousands of sand bags. so simple , yet so effective. what a great , simple idea !

Case, once your town or rm declared state of emergency, you are likely eligible for pdap( provincial disaster assistance program) it doesn't cover crop loss but it "should" cover the flood damage to your home that insurance co won't cover. I know it's minimal in the scheme of things but check with rm or town administrator for the application. As of last year it was still available, hopefully it still is
