![]() Oh hey Tony, remember when we road our bikes through Carburn Park the other day? Well, I'm sorry to report that Carburn Park isn't there anymore
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Okay, I may be exaggerating a little bit but seriously, half of Carburn is gone and they evacuated the entire park. Those three lakes that were in the pond are now a part of the river ![]() ![]() took my bike out to sus it out but didn't get far.. ![]() Expecting them to evacuate Riverbend possibly.. ![]() |

![]() Water from the rivers on the east side of the continental divide (basically the divide follows the BC/Alberta border in the southern half of the province) all flows easterly. Unfortunately Canmore, Calgary, etc have the water flowing towards the communities and not away from them regardless of sea elevation. My wife's family all live in Calgary but luckily none are near the evacuation areas.

![]() I hope this ordeal gets dealt with quickly and everyone affected can return to their home. Something very unexpected for Calgary.

![]() The 2005 floods seem minor compared to that. In one picture it looked like the river rose about 2 m in the last two days.

![]() I've lived beside the river in this community for over 30 years and I've seen the river crest quite a few times. This is definitely the worst it has ever been!
