Estevan Mercury

No dams were compromised this time, but the memories of the flood of 2011 came floating back into the minds of many local residents on Sunday afternoon and evening when Mother Nature, once again, unleashed her fury on the Energy City.

Every park in Estevan has felt the impact of the heavy rains in the city over the last few weeks. Parks manager Rod March said pathways have suffered. The pathway on Fourth Avenue South is under water, which will erode the pathway’s base works.

I’m just a little bit concerned.

The thunderstorm that dropped approximately five inches (125 millimetres) of rain on some parts of Estevan on July 10 was the most significant storm to blast the Energy City this year, but it’s not the only powerful storm in recent weeks.
