I don't think it's even an idea to think about this right now. Things are changing so quickly in the Canmore area that no one will know for sure for a few days.

Does anyone know where Bridgeland Industrial area is? I like how the blog tell people to check the maps on Calgary.ca, which redirects back to the blog.

It is far to early to tell, this will take a few days before any solid info will be available. I am sorry but your better half will probably be in wedding melt down for the next 24 hrs or so until more info is available

Riverbend and DeerRun now on evacuation list.

[KevanGuy]

Oh, and for those interested, the off ramp from Glenmore westbound to Northbound Deerfoot is closed because they are building one of those dirt berms there.

I know that we won't know for sure, but this is a big deal for us. Lots of money invested, people traveling from all over the continent, and one road to get to our destination. It may seem silly to do this now, but I'm trying to find out as much as possible and what to expect.

So do I listen to the City or the CBE?

[MG153]

[fundmark19]

Is 10th ave considered downtown? I would really prefer not to go to work

Also any update on Riverbend roads the map hasn't been updated yet

Just realized the 1A might not take you past that. I'm not 100% sure where the damage is.

The 1 a runs straight into that. Also seen pictures of a stretch or road around Exshaw that was wiped out as well.

Have we got any of these?

Can't arrest people for that...and police manpower will be stretched to the max as is with patroling all the closed areas.

My point is unless you 100% have to be there, stay out. Traffic will be a mess, there is going to be a lot of cleanup to be done. Going downtown just to go downtown is just stupid.

[CrispyGriz]

Anyone know if scotia center will be open tomorrow? I figure it is far enough off the river to be fine but figured it was worth throwing out there anyways. Also will the c train be running in the morning or will I have to find another way to get across the river?(coming from Sait essentially)

Check out the comments on the CNN article... http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/20/world/...html?hpt=hp_t2

Don't bother with the article itself, it is about 12 hours out of date.

It took over an hour. That's not "immediate". I wasn't wrong. I didn't say they shouldn't help CPS, but I was giving a suggestion as to why it would take over an hour, which it did.
