The flood of 1995 and this flooding were two different beasts. In 1995 there was prolonged rainfall combined with melting snow in the mountains that raised the level of the rivers and streams.

The current one is an intense rainfall over a short period of time that saw the storm sewers backup. I'm not sure if they closed down the Whoop Up Drive bridge completely or narrowed it down to one lane. I was actually in Waterton for the day so I missed all the fun and games. We did pass through a couple of intersections that were flooded over on our way home, and that was at 6:00pm, some 4 hours after the rain.
