I just want to share with those concered that as the rain progresses here in Southern Alberta tonight, information about river levels can be heard on the major local repeaters including High River's VE6HRB (145.1700) and Calgary's VA6CTV (145.2900) as operators are giving reports every half hour or hour tonight; also of course keep tuned to those public safety frequencies.
For those outside of this area who would like to know what I'm talking about, here is the news story:
Flood watches in effect for Southern Alberta

Alberta Environment has issued a Flood Watch for a number of streams and rivers in Southern Alberta including Fish Creek in Calgary.
Officials in Okotoks, Turner Valley, and Black Diamond are keeping a close eye on the Sheep River.
All the lower pathways have been closed and the river is very high.
People living and visiting the area are being warned to use extreme caution around riverbanks.
More rain is expected overnight and a Heavy Rainfall Warning has been issued for Southwestern Alberta including Calgary.
The Highwood river is also extremely high.

In addition, the Calgary Fire Department is issuing a caution about the Elbow River.
The river is running fast and officials say additional rain in the forecast is a concern.
A number of pathways are closed and people are advised to avoid the riverbanks.
