Most Calgary residents can return home

Calgary’s mayor says almost everyone in the city who fled last week’s flood can return home.

Naheed Nenshi says only people who live in the downtown area and in a small area in east of the city’s downtown are still being kept out. He’s warning that people need to be cautious as they return since many houses won’t have utility service. He also says the city is still a very dangerous plays to be.

About 75,000 people fled their homes last week as water spilled from the bow and elbow rivers, flooding many neighbourhoods.
