That wasn't filmed by you was it?? If so, I was about 2 meters to your left when than happened and when you filmed (see my photo on the previous page).
Given how much higher the river now is, I expect some significant damage to the bridge.
Where did you get the information about Brookfield? I just talked to my boss and apparently we're still gonna be open tomorrow (a brookfield tower in the potential flood zone, 5th Ave)

honestly the images shown don't really show any real damage in Calgary, High River on the other hand is a disaster, but in Calgary right now it just looks like the Fraser in metro-Vancouver when it floods, just flooding local stream side parks and golf courses / farms. I mean that in a good way as well, in that hopefully for Calgary they are overblowing things a little.
The rivers in Calgary won't crest until the a.m. hours. We won't know the true extent of the damage until then.
exactly, especially if flooding is going to reach all the way to 6th Avenue. That is crazy. That's like 40% of the financial core.

Cold this must be the first real test for the EOC.
2nd... Huge water main break last fall.
But first comprehensive yes.

BTW, un-freaking-believable the colour of the river and the amount of debris floating in it. Yes lots and lots of trees, but park benches, picnic tables, road hazard barriers, basically anything that floats ...
I got kicked out of my office on west 4th around 6:45 and told to get my car out of the parkade immediately. The parking elevator had already failed by the time I got to the lobby and when I got to my car the sumps were deafening.
I was planning on working through the weekend, so this is really, really annoying.

6th street west? wow!!! So does that mean the financial core is also evacuated?

A friend who works in a Brookfield building got an email from them. I just heard everything north of 6 Av downtown will be closed tomorrow. Good luck! I hope your boss makes it in on time.

Oh, we're on 6th Ave, just on the south side(Suncor Energy Centre). So I guess that's why we're not closed LAME!!!!
