That barrier lake dam picture I think puts this really into context. We were there last week, and if you have ever seen a normal picture of the water, that is one insane picture.

Granted, they probably opened the dam for the flood, but still wow.

Here is a random question, if the dam is lets say 15% open on a normal day, water levels rise, keep rising, would they warn the city of Calgary prior to opening it up compeltly? Wouldn't that create a singular huge wave with no warning for those downstreame of the Kanasikis river?

/end dumb question.
