And just when I thought the rain was going to quit....

[Jayems]

Is there a website that tells you what areas are flooded, or have the potential for flooding?

anyone out in Bragg or Cochrane notice anything ?

It's getting pretty bad here in Okotoks. The sheep river is swelling through town right now, and has spilled into the Lion's gate campground. It has also creeped up to the parking lot of the Smitty's (which obvioulsy doesn't mean anything excpt to anyone who knows where the Smytty's is compared to the river)

Foolish swamp people must pay for their insolent ways!!

I think it's the constant rain that depresses people more than anything (except of course the inconvenience of flooded basements).

I don't mind a good rain, a good storm. But a week of overcast and drizzle really starts to get depressing.

Course, before this people were starting to complain about that mini heat wave we were having. I really think people are never happy about the weather.

The dam is wide open and the Elbow is already consuming backyards on Sifton Blvd. I love a good storm as well but I hate the freakish mosquitoes that come along after this kind of weather.

Glad I'm not an outfielder this year.

Now in all honesty, who else loves it when this happens? I mean, yes it sucks that stuff get ruined and what not.
But this stuff amazes me.

I'm a bartender at Priddis Greens...and a few people were golfing today.

[LockedOut]

Is it me or are there now more potholes in the road as a result of the rain?
