Calgary flooding

[Jakegr]

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

Went to canadian tire and london drugs and they don't have heat packs. If there's a blackout, I will just cover the tank top with styrofoam and put a blanket over it and hope for the best. Sorry for such concern about my tank but thats the only property that I have over here

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.

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 heard the same thing on global and 660 news. They said its a possibility, not probability.

My community is not affected by the river floods, but all the storm drains are being overloaded and the pooling on the roads is substantial. All the cities systems are being taxed at the moment and who can say what can affect the power.

I don't have a generator and debating picking one up....
