Do you know if 2nd ave and 6th street was ok? My mom's place is right about there. Not far from Sunnyside elementary.

Standard Life building (5 ave and 6 st sw) is evacuating at 10:30 am. Our VP sent out an e-mail at 5 am advising to stay home, but I know a few folks who went in anyways (might not have gotten the e-mail)

As the mayor stated a few minutes ago, it is nothing sort of miraculous that as far as we know there are no injuries or deaths.

I am sure I heard that 2 people died down near Black Diamond, I hope I am wrong but that is what I recall.

BTW, kinda pissed how this flooding is nearly as bad as the NYC flooding recently, but not even discussed on the American news. Pretty frickin ridiculous.

It's nowhere on the BC news either. I've been watching for 30 minutes and all I got was done exercises from Trevor Linden

We confirm there is flooding on the park, but so far all animals are secure and the situation continues to be monitored by animal care staff. Please continue to check here for further updates.

Our office in Manchester was shut down and everyone sent home early. They figure while things are ok now for most people, the roads may not be so good later on today.
It's really bizarre seeing all these images, and yet everywhere I've been today it appears as if its a normal day.
Meanwhile, I've got to figure out a way to pick my mother up from the airport later tonight coming from the south.

My wife works for the City and is currently assisting with the emergency response. I have packed us both a bug out bag just in case.
