Apperently they think the water is going to spill OVER the Glenmore dam. I guess they have it fully open letting water through and they can't keep up. Watch out if you live downstream of the dam.

They have been allowing the water thru it's two outlets since sometime yesterday.
DO NOT go rafting. Scary stuff for the big waterfront homes.
I have been wondering over to the Bow (across the street) and although it's banks were reinforced 30 years ago I don't think I have seen it this high or fast since it used to flood Sunnyside on a pretty regular basis. The little unused natural island
across from Princess Island is totally under water
Don't quote me on this but Sunday it was running at 80(m3) and yesterday afternoon it was closer to 280(m3). It has probably raged into Med Hat along with the Oldman by now.
The Highwood was 56(m3) on Sunday and hit 550(m3) last night.
Black Archer's link ,thanks,will give you more accurate results.
