CALGARY, Alberta — The flooded western Canadian city of Calgary says it has ordered the evacuation of the entire downtown area.
About 230,000 people work downtown on a typical Friday.
However, officials say very few people need to be moved out, since not many showed up for work Friday.
Twenty-five neighborhoods in the city, with an estimated population of 75,000, have already been evacuated due to rising floodwaters.
