If you have a camping stove, you could use that to heat up water.

Nop I don't have that :( I don't have car plus the transit is disrupted (I think?) so I will have to get supplies (batteries food etc) from safeway/london drugs. Going there right now to see what I can find.

London Drugs may have some useful appliances! Good luck. If you can get to a Canadian Tire, they would have some camping supplies. A propane BBQ would also work.

On the news they just announced that the City of Calgary might have to turn off the power grid which will affect the majority (or entirety) of the city. This is dependant on how much more severe the flooding gets.

I just checked the weather network and we are to get 10 - 20mm of rain today. That plus all the water surplus from the mountains.

Please plan appropriately.

Is there a link to this? Nothing on Calgary blog or enmax suggesting anything close to this. Most of the city is not effected by flooding so shutting down the entire city seems unlikely at best. Neighboring areas could be shut down due to power grid layouts. In times like this lets wait for credible info before cause mass panics.

At least I have 45 Gallons of Ro/DI drinking water ready to go :)

I was suppose to go buy some more Mysis from Wai's a few days ago and now I am completly out... I don't think that I will be venturing to the North for a few days.

Anyone know there is anywhere in the SW Evergreen area that sells Mysis?

OH man, I've been having nightmares about my tank crashing all week and now it's a reality.

Dollar store.

Something else that works is those hot hands/hot toes things for the winter. Double or triple bag in ziplocks and put in water.

No it is just hear say from CTV news. Nothing released from the city or Enmax yet. I'm just saying be prepared incase the worst happens.

I wouldn't feed fish for the next couple of days if there is a concern about power outages.
