Not for YYC.

I think there was a flood similar to this back when the centre street bridge was newly built. I remember seeing photos many moons ago that showed the whole flood plain filled. Couldnt guess a date though

I'm 8 hours away. I was thinking more along the lines of donating a hundred bucks or so to the relief fund.

If you ever run for Mayor when Nenshi moves aside, you got my vote.

Out of thanks!

I work in Centennial but haven't heard squat. I would imagine if Devon is in lockdown/powered down then it would be the same for Centennial considering whenever Devon's alarms go off in their building we are on stand by. Plus they are both oxford properties so I would think they would be under the same plan of action.

Come on cpers! Which Riverbend streets are evacuated I can't find the map

[frinkprof]

Well, schools closed basically means non-emergency workplace closures as well. That's a lot of parents that will have to stay home with their younger school-aged kids.

I'm an emergency services dispatcher, so I'm one of the people who answer the phone after "0". It's our current protocol for this emergency.

I think Riverbend is just on evacuation watch right now, meaning they haven't actually started an evac.

Thanks! I will ring first thing in the morning.

Still worried I will be evacuated tonight and end up deep south

I'm in Centennial as well. Still no word but there is no way it'll be open tomorrow.

Edit: just got the email. Centennial Place is evacuated and closed as of 11:00pm. Good. Given all that is going on it would be ridiculous to have people going downtown tomorrow.

[TorqueDog]

Still nothing official as of yet for West Downtown.

So? Taking pictures of something that is capturing the attention of the entire Country makes them "clowns"?? If I was in the area, had a big red nose and size 23 shoes I guess I'd be taking pictures too!.....

[TheyCallMeBruce]

damnit, my building isn't closed.

I don't think Deerfoot is for parking.

Sorry, down here in California freaking out because we are getting married in Lake Louise in 2 weeks. Can anyone tell me how bad the highway is washed out at the moment? Any word on when they can expect to re-open it?

[KelVarnsen]

I am starting to hope the police arrest people who go downtown tomorrow.

Stay out of downtown like the police are telling you too. It is just that simple!
