At the mall's indoor waterpark, bathers scampered through feces-laden water to exit the locker room.

Pretty crazy. I live just 15 minutes from West Edmonton Mall and there was no flooding here...we only got the edge of the storm. Almost no hail either...

Didn't realize it was that bad

Gotta love the caption:
'A woman trying to cross a flooded Edmonton street yesterday is shocked by how cold the water is.'

No sh!t. You would think the water came from the hot water faucet.

It was so cold residents in the neighbourhood of Rio Terrace could see their breath.
Who wrote this ? A journalist from Florida ? Who hasn't seen their own breath ? It doesn't need to be that cold...

Used to be this Swedish dude. Some chick told him: I will sleep with you when the local river freezes over. So it happened that winter, the river froze over, Celsius got laid, and called it ground zero. Hence 0C - when water freezes.
