At the gas station, there were three vehicles waiting for each pump. This is how panic starts. It's not as if we are going to be cut-off from the rest of the world...
We've lost most of our western link. The water isn't going to stop once it passes through Calgary, and could very well screw up eastern road/rail links.

We wouldn't be completely cut off, but there is substantial risk of delays in transport into the city, never-mind the logistics of delivering to neighbourhoods that are cut off right now.

People are often not even stocked enough to survive 2 days, let alone potentially a few more being cut off from supply access.
