Calgary and region are getting hammered pretty badly by high winds today. I don't know all the stories because I've been sleeping prior to working tonight, but the scanner at home and various Twitter users have been burning up the airwaves with dozens and dozens of calls.
See the RR database for frequencies from the affected areas, including: City of Calgary, Rockyview (east side), Foothills (east side) - that's what I can hear from my home. Twitter, as I mentioned, is pretty heavily focusing on Calgary area damage. CFD has announced that it is opening its emergency operations center and the city is breaking out the municipal emergency plan. And as I type this, news outlets are reporting that the downtown core is now closed to all traffic due to the dangerous wind conditions.
Stay safe, everybody!
