Morning All,

If you are in the area South of Calgary and East of the Foothills, after the pounding storm last night many area rivers are continueing to rise and localize flooding is occuring.

http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/State+emergency+declared+High+River+amid+flood+warnings/8553169/story.html

Just after 0700 local, the Town of High River declared a state of emergency and began evacuating residents in the low lying neighbourhoods.

Keep safe out there.

Mountainman.

This feel like a run for the hills kind of Day. State of emergencies being declared in 7 municipalities around Calgary due to flooding, Stock market losing 400 points in a day and half. My dog won't even go out side to do his business 🙂

It's a good day to be prepared.

Howdy All,

My Family and I, evac'd last night to the city. We are doing well. We have the vitals.

The RCMP and Army have the town under lockdown until the citizens return. Hopefully, only 2 - 3 days.

I hope all in the area were able to get to a safe location.

I will update when and if I can.

Mountainman.

Do you have any idea if your home was in the flooded zones? Will there need to be a "clean mountainman's basement" weekend soon?
