Biblical Flood!

[Uncle Mike]

The old home town has been struck by quite a lot of water. Crazy times! I won't bore you all with the details (you can look it up on the interwebs for yourselves...) but it is a pretty soggy time here in Calgary. 

[Will Bailie]

Stay safe, warm and dry.  I'm getting lots of messages from friends and family in Calgary - very surreal to see my hometown under water!

[Griffando]

It's insane!!!! I went swimming down in the streets by the Glenco center. There is a lot of water

[Mason]

Bloody hell!
 

Stay safe, people.

[Dolmot]

Any deep ones behind your window?

Welcome to Florida! We decided to send the weather up there as Canada keeps sending snowbirds down here during the winter. We felt it was a fair exchange program!

You know it's your fault UM, you had to go and release
Large deep ones about a month ago, now look what
You've done :-)
Hope you and your family are safe and dry

Poor 'Ol,Dusty'. I don't miss her, but I sure feel for anyone under the high-water line.

UM, I hope all is well with your family and friends.

[Harwood Hobbies]

Yep, it's crazy here.  The whole downtown was closed.

I have taken the opportunity to build a boat.

Not a real one mind you, but one for my figures...  

On the bright side, the river levels are dropping slightly but there is still rain in the forecast and most of the southern half of the promise in still in a state of emergency.  Stay safe!

I was evacuated Thursday afternoon, as I live right on the Elbow River, and am now holed up at my parent's place.  If you're checking out aerial photos and see what looks like a big white tent sitting in the middle of a lake, well, that's my backyard, basically.  Looks like the water crested just below my balcony (we have a photo some intrepid - or foolish - soul took from across the street), which means it reached about 4-5 feet deep on the ground, or about 10 feet above where the river level stood when I took a wander on Thursday morning.  The level has fallen substantially, but last I heard the street was still under water, and the neighbourhood has no power.  Can't imagine I'll be able to get back in before mid-week, and even then, there's no guarantee the building will be immediately habitable - consider that the unit beneath me likely had water almost up to the ceiling, so some remediation will undoubtedly be required.  I also hold out little hope for the survival of my garden plot (or allotment, for you British sorts!).

We packed pretty light heading out (all my miniatures and terrain remain behind, I'm afraid), but lest I lose all the precious files that make up Strange Aeons, I pulled the hard drive from my computer and brought it along.  Not that I can actually get anything from it at the moment, mind, so I rather suspect the next Arcane Relic release may be a bit delayed!

Glad to hear that you and the missus are safe and dry Lidless!  Any idea when you will be allowed back ?

congratulations! but first You decided to detour it to eastern Germany for a while 

[D@rth J@ymZ]

If there is a silver lining to this state of emergency, it is that they have cancelled my work for the next couple of days ( ) and I have almost finished my boat.

The model one, not a real one...

[D@rth J@ymZ]

Its not an Ark, but at least I know it would float 



Here is the hull, filled with marbles and resin for weight and balance:



and back together with the remodelled deck with gack and bits:



Now for paint!
