    lizbud - all of downtown Calgary is flooded. Many neighbourhoods near the river were evacuated - about 22 of them last time I heard.

    Towns near Calgary are affected - Canmore and High River are in horrid condition; Bragg Creek is full of water and with nearby Redwood Meadows is still under a mandatory evacuation.

    In my town there have been voluntary evac notices, but so far so good.

    The rain is stopping here, thank goodness.

    Small pic, but happy one from earlier in the flooding. Poor doggy looks worried. Daddy's got you, baby - you're ok!

    I've been following the news feeds all day and have friends and colleagues in Calgary and surrounds. This flood is absolutely devastating!! Please be safe everyone.

    I see a funny yellow thing in the sky today, lighting up everything it touches. I used to know what it was called...

    So sad, but glad that yellow thing (it's called 'the sun' ) made an appearance today!
