Interesting....75,000-100,000 people evacuated in Calgary, city has capacity to take in 2,500 people in shelters, however they have only serviced about 1600. The rest are with family, friends and even strangers who have opened their doors! What an amazing community we live in!!

I too have salt water mixed, 30 gls good to go, plus can make up another 30 if needed!

My drive to work went from 64th Ave down deerfoot to pagan. At 6:45am the river was maybe 5-10 feet away from the road. Inglewood golf course is more like the Inglewood islands right now all you can see are a few green "bumps" poking out of the water but I dont think thats gonna last long.

So I turned around and went back the shop...to find out we are all on call with all services vans loaded and ready to go. (Electricians so we know our downtown customers will be calling once this clears up)

Ive been quiet through all this, mostly because its hard to say much when your heart is in your throat....anyone who knows me knows how much I love Calgary and how hard of a decision it was for me to move to E-town to be with my Girly.....My heart broke seeing all the devastation in and around C-town.....I am grateful that all my friends and acquaintances and all my family are safe and sad that they have to go through all this

I heard that they jacked the price of gas in Canmore when everyone was trying to get out....really pathetic that big billion dollar companies would use a disaster like this to gouge people in need.....CLASSY!

I have heard from unconfirmed sources that those people were buying from the individual bottles by the door, expecting to get the 24 pack of a different brand discount as they were out of the other brand

Just saying

From what I understand its a criminal offense to gouge public with high prices during state of emergency
