Around 75,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and at least three have died following severe flooding to communities around Calgary in western Canada.
Roads and bridges have been washed away and swathes of the city are under water.
Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who toured the area on Friday, called the level of flooding “stunning”.
“This is incredible. I’ve seen a little bit of flooding in Calgary before. I don’t think any of us have seen anything like this before. The magnitude is just extraordinary,” he said.
“We’re all very concerned that if gets much more than this it could have real impact on infrastructure and other services longer term, so we’re hoping things will subside a bit.”
