I seem to remember someone saying that the main problem in 2005 was that one of the dams downriver got blocked up with debris, and that caused a backlog of water that caused all the flooding. Hopefully that won't happen again, and it won't be as severe.

The #3 was good on Wednesday all through southern Alberta, no real rain till the Crowsnest then buckets. I saw a great big bear loafing around just east of Paulson Summit this morning! :D

Re: Flooding Alberta!
Mayor just said they're going to cut the power to non-essential services in Calgary. Says to get your batteries ready. Too risky with electricity near the water I assume.

i assume this means that us in the far north of the city shouldn't have any power interruptions, although with the way the weather is, i wouldn't rule it out! some of the pictures coming through twitter are frickin' crazy...can't believe there's been no reported fatalities yet! stay safe YYC |

Went to Safeway to get some milk, couldn't get up the aisles as the line for the checkouts when the full depth of the place. Probably 40 people per checkout in line, walked straight out and got some beer instead, liquor store was empty!
People taking the empty twenty liter containers at Canadian Tire and filling them at home I presume. |

From what I can gather, this is only in affected areas and those who share services with affected areas...
