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....

I heard on the ctv news that the evacuated areas were going to have the power cut. The news never mentioned anything about the other areas. I really feel bad for everyone who's effected by the floods :sad:

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 :(

Don't forget to aerate very well.

Latest update suggests nothing relating to additional power or water shut off for unaffected zones. Those outside the zones are better off staying home rather than adding to the traffic issues to chase down supplies and generators.

The mayor tweeted this and it hit the news....

The sun is now shining here but still dark clouds around.

We didn't head out today and I think I'm overloaded on this. Not to minimize the impact on those affected but gotta tune out for a bit. Think I will do a water change.....

No water changes :lol: Unless you're dumping water outside. Help reduce load on treatment plants to prevent water from being shut off for others.

Everything is normal by me, water seems fine, not even raining anymore. We have a canal behind the house that often rises with heavy rain and snow melt but it hasn't risen at all that I can tell.

Oh and I think the issue with Calgary water right now is treatment of freshwater not raw so people should refrain from using water especially for our luxury tanks ;)
