I live in Edmonton, which is the closest big city to Fort McMurray, about a 5 hour drive south. While it&#x27;s true that the devastation has been extensive and that this is the most expensive disaster in Alberta&#x27;s history, the extent as we know it so far is that approximately 15-20% of the city has been destroyed. Most of the news articles I&#x27;ve read have left that fact out and have tried to allude that the entire city has been destroyed, which is far from true. The majority of residents have a home to return to and the city will recover.
