The gang
Despite the fact that the horrendous flooding situation in Calgary and Southern Alberta hasn't, thankfully, affected my own home, just looking at photos and watching TV coverage causes huge emotion, depression, concern and sadness. I overslept till 11:00 a.m. this morning, which is why I'm posting so late again, two days running! It really is an unbelievable state that everywhere is in at the moment. Wonderfully, it's not raining today (so far) and the sun is shining. Some more rain is in the forecast over the next few days, but after that the forecast so far shows for hotter, sunny weather, which is so desperately needed for the tremendous clean-up that is going to be needed. Apparently, 75,000 people have been evacuated in our city (my youngest daughter, who lives 9 blocks from the river, is still on evacuation standby). The major flood of 2005 was one of the worst in recorded history, but this week's flood is far worse. I do hope that none of my friends in Calgary have had flooding in their homes! Again, my thoughts turn to all our beautiful wildlife, wondering how much they have probably been affected by all this. Stay safe and dry, everyone!
People living in Canmore, Bragg Creek and High River have even worse flooding than we have here in Calgary. My hearts go out to them.
Saw these cute Canada Geese goslings at the Red Deer Wetlands Area, NW of Calgary, on 2 June 2013. There were so many of them all over the place, and a mix of ages.
Just looked at Calgary's WEATHER FORECAST: 2-4 mm of rain from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening; higher amounts in thunderstorms. Not good at all.
"All Calgarians are asked to refrain from non-essential travel. Many roads, bridges and pathways around the city are closed or limited due to flooding. Access to the downtown core is not expected to resume until mid-next week." From the Calgary City News Blog. My power went off sometime during the night, but I don't know for how long. Water usage in the city is restricted.

In case anyone is wondering what is happening at the Calgary Zoo, located on an island in the middle of the Bow River, the Administration building, SCOW, ENMAX Conservatory and Kitamba Cafe all sit in several feet of water as they sit in some of the lowest areas on the island. However, all animals are safe and secure, many having been moved to higher ground or elsewhere. It will stay closed for the next two weeks, at least.
As I type this, just before 3:00 p.m. on 22 June 2013, the sky is turning black and apparently the rain has already started to fall heavily in some areas. There are road closures all over the city, even places very far away from the rivers. Just noticed on the road closure map that the main road through the city is closed near where I live. There must be so many people that are feeling very trapped!
