Calgary Alberta Floods 2013 - Re-entries slowly starting

[Squishy]

I'm still at work .... Haven't been told to go yet but is deerfoot and/or 22x pretty much shut down or at a stand still yet? I'm off Blackfoot by 42.

It crested at 4am I believe (or at least it was predicted), but there is a rainfall warning up river so it could get worse.

[GS430]

Holy shit, stay safe guys.

The cleanup is going to absolutely SUCK, all the mold.. Can't imagine what some of the parkades look like too.

UPDATE: Lowes locations in Calgary are well stocked with flats of water.

Deerfoot at Calf Robe and Southland/Anderson is completely shut down, NB and SB. Blackfoot is elevated above Deerfoot's level, so it MIGHT be open... but expect massive traffic today

22X is fine, just slow due to people pulling over and taking pictures. Your best bet will be Blackfoot to Southland to MacLeod to 22X

Vulcan just put out a flood warning o_O Lethbridge is flooding (slow and non-urgent), and there are emergency flood warnings going off all over the place.

Oh, and it's going to piss down with rain this afternoon... lovely.

Before there wasn't a current, does that mean it's gotten worse or better? I can't tell.

From the map, it looks like the flow jumps the bend around tallisman, mind bottling.

I've got word that the Saddledome is flooded up to Row 8 inside.

I live on the very North end of Mackenzie Drive... we're pretty high and dry here, so I don't think there will be flooding issues... but the mosquitoes out here are fucking MUTANTS... had one gnaw on me last night that was about an inch long o_O
