People are severely underestimating the scale of damage this is...

including insurance, billions.

Just got word from parents that Cranston Sobeys (and probably most grocery stores) is a complete and utter gong show. Not sure how much I believe but apparently the shelf and clearing/cleared out. Do people really think it's going to get that bad that they need to stock up?

People panic quite easily.

Calgary drivers pulling over on Deerfoot SB to take a look (and cause traffic issues) near the Max Bell

I just got past these idiots, people cutting 3 lanes then hard braking on the shoulders, they're going to cause an accident for sure, the river will be raging this weekend all over the city ffs do it somewhere else.

You'd think if they say fully closed we'd assume they might be serious and just planning to close the whole thing?

I don't. The stampede brings a lot of tourists and revenue to the city of Calgary and its businesses.

Is there any chance for sewer/storm backups in other parts of the city?

persoanlly i would think those that need food/water the most right now are first responders not drop in centre "clients"

You hope thousands of people lose a source of income, not to mention the millions of dollars that would be lost to the city and businesses?

LOL!

I sure hope not, but we cleaned out the basement as a precaution. I would encourage everyone to do the same to be on the safe side.

Any one know locations that need food the most? NW locations would be easier for us to access.

My mom and dad run a small catering company and their client cancelled (obviously) for their event tomorrow. Instead of letting the food go to waste, we want to donate it to those in need or those who are helping out. The client isn't paying for the food so we can freely donate to whomever we want. Just don't know where would be the best.

Have enough food to feed 150 people, can be prepared and warmed by roughly 4:00-5:00pm. I think we may be able to package and serve them as well. If you are in the NW and have people who are in need, I can load up my car and bring food to you as well. PM or text me at (403)483-2622

Love seeing stuff like this on a shitty day. Good on you guys

Keep us posted on what you guys end up doing.

Anyone else notice a significant change in the taste of your tap water?
