It's been a fun day living our here covering this shit. Seriously seemed like every time your turn around, something was happening.
Some little notes.
- The scoreboard is damaged because it was on the ground. They move that thing out of the way when things come into the arena and don't need it so it doesn't block space. Hence why it was basically destroyed.
- Locker rooms, zamboni, a bunch of equipment and arena shit is under water.
- The city of Calgary yesterday was tweeting what seemed like non-stop about the flooding and actually reached the 1000 tweets a day limit twitter has. So when they went down, the city of Edmonton, Calgary police and the Calgary Flames jumped in to start tweeting. If you read the flames twitter you will see it.
- Funny thing about this flood, fucking Canadian's actually listen when they are told to 'GTFO' of an area. This wasn't some hurricane that they had weeks to plan for, this happened over night, and when they were told to leave, they did. By 4pm today there was no one confirmed dead. Reports are not up to 4, but still, so more than 100,000 people left the area and went else where.
- The city was basically shut down. The mayor basically came out and said "It's friday...nothing important happens on Friday so stay home". Was great to see him say that.
- Rain is expected for the area and another 100mm is on the way. We are getting hammered right now with rain, and it's been like this for about 3-4 days now. So this isn't over just yet.Last edited by Ravin; 06-21-2013, 06:48 PM.All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

Ravin, you're in Calgary now? Figured you were still up in Lloyd.
It's been a fucked up time. I've got friends back home that live downtown and were evacuated. I've got a buddy that I played football with who lives in High River, his basement is completely fucked and his truck's gone for a float (not sure if better or worse that he's in Germany for a wedding and can't do anything).
There was some flooding a couple years back, but nothing quite like thisComment

I am in Lloyd, but being in media, you get all the great coverage shit going on. This was the worst flooding in the cities history x3. They don't expect this to happen again for another 100 years.All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.

Fair enough. Stampede starts in three weeks and it's looking like it's going to have to be scaled down or scrapped. The photos coming out of this are bonkers. If anyone has some money to chip in, check out http://www.redcross.ca/Comment
