We are in San Fransico for our honnymoon. This is insane.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone affectec, this was a surprise to read today, wish everyone back home the best.

Good luck everyone, don't take any risk's for photos and get to close to those banks, ANYTHING can give out, and the water can sweep away you, NEVER underestimate flood water, please be safe and not stupid.

If you get caught, you will loose vs nature. Be Safe, others count on you.

Don't bother with the article itself, it is about 12 hours out of date.
Ugh thanks for the heads up. I didn't know you could use the word "wetback" 5 times in a sentence.

I found the reference at the City's website regarding schools:

Quote:
10:45 p.m., June 20, 2013 Calgary School Closures in effect

On Friday June 21, 2013 ALL SCHOOLS for both the Calgary Board of Education and the Calgary Catholic School District will be closed due to ongoing flooding issues in Calgary and region.

The Calgary Board of Education schools are contained within the limits of the city boundaries. The Calgary Catholic School District includes the communities of Chestermere, Airdrie and Cochrane. Catholic schools in these communities will also be closed on Friday June 21.

Further information will be posted on the school board websites tomorrow and throughout the weekend. Parents of students not part of these boards are encourage to contact their schools directly to determine if they will be open tomorrow.

Anyone know why Parkdale is not under any evacuation alert? My brother's place is less than a block from the river but there's been no advisory for his spot yet.

Yeah we have good friends that have a great weekend place meters from the river. In a normal year its always touch and go around this time of the runoff.

They're assuming the worst, but helpless. A shame.

Got a friend there and she has yet to post anything about Invermere - take that for what it's worth.
