Episode Details

Torrential rains triggered catastrophic flooding in Kananaskis Country, stranding dozens of campers as bridges collapsed and trails were wrecked — including a dramatic bridge failure over Evans Thomas Creek where a vehicle plunged into the washout. No injuries reported, but repairs were rushed to reopen Highway 40 north of Eau Claire, while southbound travelers are rerouted. All campgrounds remain closed, with evacuations underway and many campers abandoning trailers in panic — some even before official orders. Officials urge those stuck to stay put, with backcountry sites to reopen as conditions allow. Refunds for disrupted reservations will be issued in 5–7 days. Meanwhile, Calgary’s Springbank Reservoir made its first-ever activation to divert Elbow River overflow, averting urban flooding.
