It's due to drainage from the surrounding roadways, not from the river. Usually happens at least once a year around this time. I don't think the flood wall helps with that in any way.

Just finished moving everything in the basement off the floor. Also called in and cancelled my car appointment for tomorrow in case of evacuation. Think I’m probably overreacting but better to be prepared I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I remember the radar in 2013 showing the rain more east to west, this storm is hitting the Foothills more north to south.
Calgary should be good, High River not so much.

Way to take an obviously joking post and crank the seriousness meter up to 11.
Even the actual construction guy that replied wasn't as chapped.

Worst case scenario:

At this time, the Alberta River Forecasters are issuing a Flood Warning for the High River area.
Residents may notice overland flooding north of Centre Street Bridge and the Lineham Canal in the coming days. This area is a part of the flood plain and is included in the flood mitigation plan.
Currently, the River Forecast Center is modelling peak flow rates between 400 and 700 Cubic Meters per Second.
The peak river flow is expected to happen between the evening of Tuesday, June 14 and the morning of June 15. The River Forecast Center will be working to refine the model further overnight. A more accurate prediction will be provided tomorrow, June 14.

Since 2013, the Town of High River has invested roughly $400 Million in mitigation efforts to protect our community from high water events.
Some of the mitigation projects include:
- Completion of thirteen dikes in different locations around High River
- Removal of the CP bridge
- Riverbank Armoring in seven locations around Town, including Eagleview and Centre Street Bridge
- Various outfall improvements
- Installation of audible alarm towers
- Installation of a flood gate
- The Town of High River is confident in the mitigation upgrades made to our community and is ready for any risk.

The Duttons likely orchestrated it, diverted the river to wash away the roads; Keep the developers and tourists away.

Over $200 million on rebuilding including the downtown, underground infrastructure, roads, parks and other projects."
That's remarkable considering City of Calgary has invested about $150 million, or about a third of what has been done in High River.
