Flooding pictures from the rain event.On July 22, North Battleford was struck by a massive hailstorm that caused damage and flooding throughout the city. Residents reported almost 50 mm of rain within an hour, with a grand total of 67 mm for the day. Mayor Ian Hamilton declared a state of emergency as reports flooded in. This event is one demonstration of how run-off can be caused by extreme amounts of rain. Should there be too much fertilizer on lawns, the excess can be carried off in this overland flow. More pictures will be posted as we receive them.
