Yeah I work out in Okotoks in the development right next to the Sheep River and was out there today. The storm pond in that development itself is like a lake now, almost touching the pathways and covering a few trees. There's a big rock dam that goes right through the pond that you can't even see anymore.
The actual river is so high, it's taking out part of a campground I drive by everyday and they had to evac a couple buildings that were close to the banks. My boss was getting so many calls today from residents that were afraid of flooding and wanting sandbags and such.
I remember not even a week ago when the river was at it's normal level and then to see where it's at now is actually quite amazing...
