Calgary is a war zone...
 

Never seen anything like this before.

I am glad my house is up high.

so I take it your location is not Montreal then?

yeah saw the pics crazy stuff

Just in between right now. But perm back in Calgary in a few weeks.

Just crazy. It's.... stunning.

Quite the devastation there,what a mess

have i missed something?

Um, CNN? :)

Too much rain = flooding.

It's bad.

why would i watch CNN here in CZ? :winkwink:

but yeah - saw it now - thats what we had here in CZ and Germany for the last 3 weeks

CZ = CNN Zealots.

Duh.

What I've seen so far looks really bad. :2 cents:

The Alberta Emergency Alert has just taken over the TV.

I once owned 14 acres on a river. Lesson learned.

This is why I own two four wheel drives. When the shit hits the fans I'm taking to the hills.

I saw this on the news today. My first thought was "this weather is getting worse and worse".

Wow, pretty nasty...

Evacuating 100,000 people...shizzz
didnt know there were that many people in all of Alberta ;)

My mother in law and all of the other residents of an old folks home were evacuated, and apparently just in time too. Bad situation in Calgary...

I have family in Calgary who have been posting pics on FB, pretty scary times for them, they are all well fortunately.

I was watching some youtube vids and checked out some articles.. yeah man.. that looks like a disaster x 50!!

This is what happens from deforestation, mining, fucking with environment in general.. etc

Going to see a lot more flooding in the next few years.. even out here in NB it's starting to pick up each season... Glad I'm 8 metes above the SJ river system here...

Internet is back :)

It's crazy. The little sump pump is working hard.

now you know how we feel :thumbsup

far from a war zone

They've started evacuating zoo animals to the courthouse for their holding cells. It's so bad. I will mostly remain unaffected other than my basement, but that's not a big deal. My family have been evacuated, and it's just really devastating the morale, honestly. Ugh.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh come on.. courthouse actually filled with wild animals is devastating to morale?

:| If you really think THAT was the point of my post you're an idiot. The animals were a tidbit.

The devastation of the flooding is what's horrible. Are you that dumb?

it was a joke to lighten the situation, eh. going on about morale and such

but, back to self pity

Most was precautionary.... lessons learned from the 2005 flood. It's bad, no doubt, but the city has 1.4 million people in it.

Now if you want to see a real disaster - check out "High River, Alberta". It's sad and ironic. The entire town got wiped right off the map. That's the real story of this flood. If anything Calgary won't have their Stampede ready in time this year (Stampede grounds are completely under water right now).... but i'm sure we'll sink millions into getting it ready. :2 cents:

I was amazed at the size of Calgary - I don't know why but I always assumed it was a little ski resort - Turns out it is a major city!!!

It looks pretty bad - Good luck.....

That's real bad......lived there in 1982
