Calgary flooding

[kien]

The family and I have evacuated and are safe at my sister's place. However, they have cut the power in my evacuated community.. FRAK!!

I was going to drive home to to check on the tank but they are still evacuating my community and officials say egress only, no inbound traffic allowed.

Damn! Sorry to hear man. No chance to setup a generator before you left?

Let me entertain all of you out of towners on my drive into work;

*Someone flipped there mini van and it is currently hanging OVER the railings of Glenmore.
*The full Lafarge plant is under water, including what looks like 30 cars/trucks.
*The off ramp to Deerfoot north bound is UNDER water, had to offroad in my civic to get into the highway.
*The Inglewood golf course is now the Inglewood River.
*I'm physically scared driving over the Caffrope bridge.

All I can say is best of luck to those that are being effected, this is serious.

My blessing goes out to all you guys who are effected by the flood.

I was suppose to play there in the next few weeks... don't think I'll be playing there anytime soon now.

I have a fresh batch of about 20 gallons of water change water ready to go if it can help someone close to deer ridge. I'm still at risk to lose power myself but I can give the water or house fish and corals for as long as I have power.

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)
