Calgary has declared a “State of Emergency”, but it’s not really effecting us directly. Fish Creek has totally overflowed onto Banister Road (if you remember where that is…right by the Funeral Home on McLeod). In fact, Quinn and I tried to go down to Fish Creek to take some more pictures of the latest flooding, but a police car was parked there turning everyone around. I can only assume that it must be higher than it was last week.
\nIn terms of Calgary, the Elbow River overflowed into property that backs onto it, so 2000 people were evacuated from the downtown area, and while the Bow River is certainly running very high and swamping Prince’s Island Park, I haven’t heard of any local flooding of residential areas.
\nThe local news is full of road closures, backed up sewer lines and flooded towns (Okotoks, High River, Black Diamond, etc…) but today, the sun is shining and we’re forcasted for at least a few days of sun. The water levels should be going down soon. If Quinn and I can get down near the creek, I’ll take some more pictures.

Also, Happy Father’s Day<\/b> to any fathers that are reading this. Our plans for the day include going out to “visit” Dad, and then dinner at Joan’s house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
