Anyone want to take a bet how long the Caferope bridge will last?

Flood alert just issued for Banff.....controlled evacuation of entire downtown Calgary.

ATTENTION!!!

On the news they just announced that the City of Calgary might have to turn off the power grid which will affect the majority (or entirety) of the city. This is dependant on how much more severe the flooding gets.

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.

If you have a camping stove, you could use that to heat up water.

Nop I don't have that

I don't have car plus the transit is disrupted (I think?) so I will have to get supplies (batteries food etc) from safeway/london drugs. Going there right now to see what I can find.

London Drugs may have some useful appliances! Good luck. If you can get to a Canadian Tire, they would have some camping supplies. A propane BBQ would also work.

Charge your cell phone. Fill your bathtubs with water incase water services is out. Prepare to be without electricity. Make sure you have emergency supplies.

OH man, I've been having nightmares about my tank crashing all week and now it's a reality.

At least I have 45 Gallons of Ro/DI drinking water ready to go

I was suppose to go buy some more Mysis from Wai's a few days ago and now I am completly out... I don't think that I will be venturing to the North for a few days.

Anyone know there is anywhere in the SW Evergreen area that sells Mysis?
