Well thankfully the heavy rain fall warning has been lifted, be we are still expecting more rain. 6 communities in the lower Calgree are have been put on mandatory evacuation, I'm sure there will be many other's before this is all over!!!

Just got a brainwave to call the Bow River Irrigation District head office. We live on the north end of Lake Mcgregor which is fed by a feeder irrigation canal from the Bow River gates at Carsland. I'm wondering if they will open those gates to releive pressure and send it our way? The feeder canal runs next to our yard. Makes life interesting........especially for a worry wart like me. Lol.

i would assume the worst sp. hope for the best. they will have to relieve the pressure soon

I'm watching Global Calgary, and really seeing the FULL impact of this rain. The communities and towns that are on mandatory evacuation is rising by the hour.

Yeah thanks for asking I'm in Cimarron up the road from the river. The town is probably going to be under water by now might go down and have a look. Hope the bridge does not get washed out.

That's good, I know where Cimarron is. I wouldn't be surprised, if the bridge get's washed out before the river crest's.
